Ah ok. Not sure what $50 and $7500 refer to. 102” whip is not a short antenna. LOL Its a full quarter wave. Nice!!
$50 is 50 watt and $7500 is 7500 watt it’s a mobile
That’s big power on a mobile! I am sure making contacts is not too difficult for you I bet!

That’s what I was thinking! Would be cool to see some pics of that mobile!!
I’ll try and take some pictures when I’m done working I have to throw another antenna mount on I’m not getting a good ground
I am sure there is more you’re hiding! I love that amp just hanging on the hook chilling. So nonchalant!!
That’s pretty much it. The cobra has big finals in it tuned to 50 watt the only problem running that much power in the truck is you hear everyone everywhere I broke my mount with a low tree earlier so I threw my trusty lil Wilson base loaded magnet mount on. Can’t really get much skip with it can’t turn the kicker on
Oh ya that little wil is puny. I have one for a spare in case we caravan with someone who doesn’t have a radio. You get 7500 watts from that amp?
Yes sir. 7500 all day long just preamp switch flipped I was hitting 25 miles like you are beside me. Btw this is my first radio and first linear. Never had an interest until I heard skip.
What kind of amp is that? Looks small to push 7.5k Not calling your a liar but just interested.
I hate to break it to you but that amp pictured most likely has two motorola mrf 455a stud mount transistors in it.
Couple versions, digital sports systems, cmi, all about the same.
It's not going to get close to that kind of output by any means.
If you pull the cover and take a picture of the board inside we can tell you the reasonable output of that amp.
