    Watt the Hell......

    Someone listen to him. Your not going to fix anything with your mouth open. Headache rack spells disaster can it be done? Yes is it worth the trouble? No. Is hard mounting and bonding and grounding the best way for any application ? Yes if you want the work involved and the better end results...

    8 transistor amplifier low power issue

    Custom tuning? Wouldn't call it that. They system hasn't worked right since I got it . It has improved but still has little issues.

    Watt the Hell......

    Good coax, good ground and proper bonding will cure most problems. No cut corners when doing an install it will come back and bite you.

    8 transistor amplifier low power issue

    The low power on the final amp was because of a 150 on the output of one of the 4 pill sections which I found by feeling the output combiner. They are both on different supply's and always have been.

    Antennas: Magnet vs Hard Mount

    Some people don't like drilling a hole but the way I see it is puck it and forget about it. No more coax issues due to weather or user error no more cleaning underneath the magnet and with a puck you can run any antenna you want at any given time .

    577 is good people he's answered a few questions and pointed me in the right direction on things if I ever need radio work done he'd be one to do it. I've sent radios out to people that say they can do magic and what I get back is nothing more than truck stop tunes. Learning is part of this...

    Antennas: Magnet vs Hard Mount

    I ran a mag mount for a brief time and noticed I decent jump from that to a "puck" mount I will never go back. I will say that a friend of mine has a tri-mag and a 22" predstor and a tx star 250 and wow does he ever talk from his mobile he does the same or better as the guys running 8 pills. His...

    8 transistor amplifier low power issue

    Well I've narrowed it down . I noticed that my driver and my big box don't like each other. Something is up in my driver box and I don't know what it is. Reflect jumps way high when the driver is inline with the big box, the driver looks good on a dummy load power/tune wise maybe it's getting rf...

    8 transistor amplifier low power issue

    Input was tuned for minimum reflect back to the driver which end up being 150pf the output was at 130pf and I bumped it up to 150pf the turns are 3 in 3 out and the wraps are counted on the transistor side .

    8 transistor amplifier low power issue

    I have an XForce 8 transistor amplifier and its only seeing 500 bird average. It is being driven and supplied correctly . It is being ran at 16v and on occasion it will do 600w. It has brand new transistors and everything else in the amp appears to be find I'm guessing I have some sort of a tune...
