    Any suggestions for a small Amp for Magnum S-9

    Yes it will work fine.. Turn the dead key down to less than 3 watts and turn the variable wide open on the Texas Star and it will work fine.. That comes from YEARS worth of real world testing, not some BS info from an opinion..

    My new West Mountain Radio COMspkr

    I have a 5 speaker setup that includes a separate sub woofer enclosure and it picks up RF bad even with clamp on ferrites.. That's why this post caught my eye. I like the fact it's in a wooden enclosure and not plastic..

    My new West Mountain Radio COMspkr

    Is that price for one or a pair ? All amplified speakers I've purchased usually come in pairs.. Does it have a standard 3.5 mm audio plug ? Where did you get yours ?

    Ads useful ? Yeah right haha.. Those have been out for many years and I've NEVER seen anybody with one, except the one that's been sitting on my local shops display case for the last 10 years that he can't even give away.

    Max safe dead key,Stryker 490

    You've been on this forum for over 4 years and are not sure how to operate a radio that only has one transistor in it ?:confused: Run it just like you would any other radio.. The only difference is the 490 will do 3x as much do to having a 1446 in it.

    TEXAS STAR 1600 AS A BASE

    I have 5 power supplys hoooked together no problems running that way for many years.. Use no less than 4 guage wire (short as possible) to make your connections.. Set voltage on all PS's to 15 volts BEFORE hooking them up and double check voltage after. As far as wattage, claims will vary...

    I need more range!

    Step 1- Get radio tuned for max output with a 2 watt DK. Step 2- Upgrade to Wilson 1000 or 5000 (which has better recieve) Both will be more durable and help you TX and RX better.. Step 3- Get a small 100+ watt box. Step 4- Talk to your buddy with no problem.

    Just about any 2 pill amp will work, Texas Star would be a good choice for what you want. Works good on both AM and SSB.

    Those are some good boxes :thumbup1: I had the very 1st 2 outlaws that Steve built.. One was a 2x6 (mobile) with a variable and the other was an 8 pill base with a matching 200 amp power supply.. My buddy has the 2x6 now and it's still going strong.. What size is your Outlaw amp and power...
