11 meter is very quiet?

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.

I’ll pull the cover tomorrow on lunch break and snap you a pic.

And no one was leading you on (for the record).

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

7.5K actually takes a massive electrical system upgrade in a vehicle application, there'd be no way to run it on a stock system.....and a whole lot of transistors in a really big box or a couple of boxes, with a lot of fans to keep it cool. We're talking 32 pill class with a driver. For the size of the box in your hand and the heatsink size, that's probably a 250 to 350 max watt box.
Pictured is what a 7-8K box looks like.....

Lots of Skip last two days from numerous directions…Florida to Alaska but none further West than Texas.

I talked to member “Codeman” aka 553 again this morning in his truck. 30 miles from Austin TX. Always sounding good

He wasn’t leading me on for the price I can’t complain. Free

Thanks!! Great talking with you this morning for sure. Hopefully I can make it your way again soon. You were sounding top shelf for sure.

I went back to my modded Cobra M77 mic. Seems like it cuts through better than the President mic. 454 needle bender in Spokane, WA said I sounded fantastic!! I will keep using it!!! I will miss the channel selector...naaaa. LOL

So much DX today. Just talked to forum member “Farmer Brown” in Arkansas a little while ago. Bill sounded great on his radio.

Missed a radio call from forum member “Recon NY818” a couple nights ago. I had just cut the radio off. One of the guys local to me talked to Recon. I heard the next day that Recon was calling for me…shucks.
