No knot man! No offence to you either! I didn't mean for it to sound hostile I have all due respect for you coyote. 73's

No offense but I know the model #is not the output dude, I've been in radio since 1977 I can look at the theoretical output (80 watt transistor) times four and subtract according to duty cycle to keep heat at a minimum. If this box has MRF455's they are 60 watt transistors the MRF 454 is 80...

I was lead to believe this was a 450 (model) and had 1446's...., as soon as I popped the hood and saw the Motorola logo I knew It was not. All it says on it anywhere is "Magnum by Palomar" I'm going to find out if it has MRF455's (60watt) or 454's, the 454's were used in the "magnum 450" and...

Thanks for your time in looking it over Jeff, it's a low drive amp then?

This has NO markings anywhere, not on the back or inside. I don't know but I've read that these were made in Mexico? I'm going to post some pics, I'm hoping one of the techs could tell me if it's A/B biased. It has a SSB switch but that could just be relay I've read. Also, does anyone know what...

The "Magnum" by Palomar (450) arrived. First thing I noticed was the power cord, NO fuse holder so I'm not testing it till I can get out to go get one. I popped the cover and it's internally fused w/40amp fuse but.. The power cord coming out the back looks to be #8 stranded wire! Also, it...

Exactly! 73's

I just picked up a "Magnum" by Palomar(450) for a right price! I've been trying to find out what the input drive is for this amp. I've seen it from 2-1/2 to 35 watts! I'm posting a link, if you cue it to 1:25seconds you'll her this Tech who is testing one say "the drive on my test radio puts...

I have an actual C.B. license from 1972, my station ID was KMF-7561. They have never learned Radio Etiquette.

Very well explained, thanks for taking the time to do it so well!

Good reading! Thanks for sharing Sir!

I wish I had something to put them in...

Sadly, the good old days has only been a few short years

I've never had an issue with Texas Star, I'd like more info on a five??

It comes in "CW" mode....

I was cheated out of it by a tech who said it's toast, in Lew of a bench fee. After what the last tech did after working on my radio I'm not feeling to lucky about finding one. As a matter of fact, I too unhook my equipment when not in use. but oh never mind, thanks for your input

Thanks' Dr, my swr is 1.2....73's
