If you bought a chinesium transistor amp ie HG or DEI remember to keep your volts low, under 15 and your swr 1.3 or less. If you do not your amp won't last long. I drive a 4 pill toshiba amp with my drail 955 and see about 950. What did you get for extras on that 955? Did you get the final upgrade?

Unless you have a specific amp you need to drive with it or you have a good 1446 transistor id leave it alone. How much do you want to spend to make 60 watts? If you're just collecting then id say its a fairly rare amp. In the end it's your money, do what makes YOU happy.

Tweaker is an understatement lol

Ive been in and out like bad sex lol. All is good here sir and hope all is good your way. Every once in a while i see a video i think the might make the folks in the ham area ask wtf lol. This was fairly extreme @secret squirrel i see you too

Get ready to feel the pain. Thoughts, reactions???

Dont know Arlen personally, im sure hes a good guy, im just going by what I see when some of his amps are stripped down. One of my main concerns was how small he was cutting the heatsink during one period. Xforce quality wavered considerably thru the years and its hard to tell what quality...

Yes, the regular hg2879, drive them like you would a 1446 and they're happy. No more than 15 volts and swr of 1.3/1 or less. 1.6 is a no-no for the hg pills. The 2879C likes 15.5-16 volts

Therein lies the problem. The only specs for HG are copied Toshiba data sheets and we all know hg will not withstand what toshibas will. It used to be fairly easy.

Don't forget class c will out perform a/b. Im wondering if the differences you're seeing may be due to the amp class? I see carl pull 1275 peak and 520 average from his 4 pill with 200 watt dk Personally I wouldnt expect to see more than 600-700 watts peak for any length of time safely from an...

Never mind, not a turbo...

Hey Dan, this just popped up local around me. Contact the seller and see if maybe i can pick it up and ship it to you if you get him paid or some other arrangement. Let me know soon because im sure it wont last long...

Not really sure why Texas star stuff is getting like it is. Its not like some high quality gear we're dealing with but new 667's are $1000... If i were you bevis id spend the $22 bucks for the ebay set and call it good.

I set search alerts locally for "cb" and "cb amps" on Craigslist and offerup. This is when you need to be creative if you want to find parts. Dont expect to find new and be ready with cash to jump on an opportunity. Ill keep an eye out and if i come across anything ill pm you.

Lately ive been bringing my gear right to ace and ratfukin their screw department so i know i have the right stuff

I admit I did wash the flux out of it but it was pretty clean and unmolested when i got it. Ill keep an eye out for the parts you're looking for. Check back here if you find what you need. This is what it looked like before i cleaned it. A steal at $100 anymore. I see where one recently sold on...

I can't even see where they say its even in stock. Unless youve emailed them to confirm they have some in stock id be suspect. Be careful of anything on ebay as it might be knockoff stuff. Email those folks and confirm they physically have some then find some one with a local business license to...

Arlen fucked Xforce up. And im back in da bushes...

I just had an rmail conversation a few months ago with Barkettes about some connex parts. That's a bummer if theyre down. Best of luck finding TS parts. Last i heard there is a shortage of all ts parts. You wont find any retail anywhere at the moment. Evem TS is having problems getting what...

Again welcome to the forum. If youre new to the transistor amp world again welcome and be very very careful as you first have lots to learn about not getting burned. Toshiba chinesium fakes have been around for about 10 years now and are popping up everywhere. Not saying theyre a bad...
