    I assume that the PA in my 6300F150 is also the same. Hopefully I can retrofit this rig with a 6300F150 heatsink, as this one is about 1/2" deeper and doesn't fit well in my mobile mount. Barkett has them listed and I've asked them to verify stock and fitment.

    Random 250 question.

    Sorry for my sarcasm, just like to have a laugh, I did apply very thin. The tube must have sat for a few years, had to squeeze some separated stuff out before getting into the good. Todd

    SWR/Watt meter for the Mobile

    After looking at it again, mine is slightly different. Wondering now if it could be modified to read scale at 2x, I run under 300w, but this thing says 150w. Todd

    SWR/Watt meter for the Mobile

    I have this same unit in Kenwood trim, haven't hooked it up yet. Anyone have any additional comments on them ? I've had my eye on the Palstar PM2000AM for permanent mobile installation, might try the Kenwood out first though...... Todd

    Agreed. I shipped to him in a USPS flat rate box. I have a stack of their free boxes so that I don't have to make a special trip each time for just the box. Todd
