    President Madison no output but has modulation

    If you just got it check to see if it looks like there are any modifications on the board, someone may have put some kind of a swing kit in it.

    RF Limited RFX95HD

    I'm not to concerned with the type of board, just those wattage numbers.

    RF Limited RFX95HD

    You need a fiberglass whip painted orange with a little orange triangle shaped flag at the top like they used to have have for kids bicycles.:whistle: And then some playing cards in the wheel spokes held by clothespins to complete the image.;) PS: If anyone does play with these RFX95's think...

    RF Limited RFX95HD

    Looking at what RFX75's and 85's go for if you can find one it may not be a bad idea to order a case and sit on it for a while come on.;) I'm curious myself, a 29 or 78 with a RFX75/85 should be an ideal channel 19 workhorse as long as you don't encounter the mounting issues that Low_Boy has...

    Galaxy radio drift

    It's all a part of the development process. To prove something works you need a working prototype, if you need proof before starting to develop that prototype it would be impossible to start. How about we just wait and see what he comes up with before starting the dog pile.

    small or "mini" beams?

    I know you already moved on from the TakTenna but googling "petlowany coil" will bring a little more info for home brewing one. Also do a little research on hex beams for another slightly smaller option.

    Scorpion Repair Shop?

    Nothing a force choke can't handle.;) Or maybe just a force smack up side the head come on.

    FatBoy 6 Pill

    Average or peak? I'm not looking for a free lunch. I understand what you are saying and I know the math, The only question I asked is when doing all these calculations you describe do we use the peak output or the average output of the amp in question and why. I haven't seen an answer to that...

    FatBoy 6 Pill

    Even if 50A would run it I still wouldn't try to pull that on a stock charging system, I'm not recommending that he run it as is. I'm just trying to get some clarification on a question I've had for some time now. I hear a lot about how this big a power supply can't support this many watts out...

    FatBoy 6 Pill

    I see you posted while I was editing my previous post, I tried to clarify what I'm getting at. It's more about what determines how much current the amp has to pull than the capability of the supply.

    FatBoy 6 Pill

    690 watts peak or 690 watts average? Added on edit: The question can be reworded as is the peak output wattage or the average output wattage of the amp in question the wattage that determines the load on the power supply?

    FatBoy 6 Pill

    There's one thing I've always wondered about when estimating amp draw by output wattage, maybe this is a good place to ask for clarification. When using the formula Volts x Amps = Wattage is the peak or average wattage the one we want to use? it seems intuitive to me that average is the number...

    RF Man Amplifiers

    I'm not up on the actual inner workings of motor mauls, how hard would it be to build one that would put four batteries in series? Note that I'm not going to build one myself so a technical explanation isn't necessary, just wondering if it's something that would be feasible for your better amp...

    First rule of antennas, the more miserable the conditions during the install the better they work.(y) I'm not a big power guy but I would have thought that kind of wattage would be a bit much for a Firestick.

    RF Man Amplifiers

    Some of the new electric bikes, scooters and other such stuff use 50 volt batteries, a charger for one of these and a bank of batteries would be an option. Captain Kilowatts suggestion is probably better provided you have a wall outlet that's up to the task but if you're not a bucket mouth the...

    New radio from ranger

    There's a big difference between being known to harass people on the air and simply having a radio in your truck when you get pulled in for a DOT inspection, I've never even heard of anyone having a problem with the DOT because of an export radio.
