My feelings are hurt and I find your remark bad natured.

Not bad natured at all my rainbow loving friend.

Highly trusted internet studies have shown that limp wristed radio users as 99% more likely to use noise toys than their heterosexual brethren.

Mine is only to pass on the information as I know it.

Just can't trump you can I?

I personally believe that to increase your chances of being heard in DX, you should strive for maximum splatter and over-modulation across all 40 standard CB channels.

I have also found that screaming into the Mic and talking so fast that no one can understand you seems to help as well.

Warning: This is an intentionally bad natured post!

Standard operating procedure on channel 6. Those boys go through some tubes, transistors, and everything else too.

TX STAR....

ive had a TS 500v and a palomar 225 that is ab biased and filtered . i drove them with a uniden washington doing 16-17 watts pep . i got about 500 watts from the texas star and i kept the palomar under 200 watts pep . both amps got compliments on ssb so either will be fine . i sold the 500v and kept the 225 , not because the 225 was cleaner , but because the 300 watt difference didn't seem to make any contact difference with folks a few counties away and it didn't seem to make any difference with skip contacts either .

i stick with ab biased amps . is the 900 HD a class c amp ?
ill also recommend the texas star over the 900 HD .

My Palomar 225 has served me very well also. I previously had mine hooked up to my Chipswitched Lincoln with a roof mounted Wilson 1000 on an Aerostar roof, and was able to make contacts all over the globe. My buddy that had a tricked out 29ltd with a Cobra 500 and a Wilson 5k said that he could only dream about making the contacts that I had.
I think that it is a gem of an amp.

Having said that, I just received my TS500V and peeking at the innards raises the testosterone levels I think...we will see if that translates into better performance on my part.

Texas Star 500.
The 900 is problematic unless it is reworked to some degree, I think Bob85 has posted something to this effect.
Also ( this is personal experience) Amps with built in drivers are prone to stability problems at times.

Based on users of both a Palomar, and Texas Star which would you use if only had to choose one? And dont forget about SSB use!

Palomar Elite900 HD, or Texas Star 500V?

Palomars suck and Texas Stars are sort of OK for what they are. I wouldn't spend MY money on either.
