You nailed it there AudioShokwav & Lonestar ! Anything that makes even a tiny dent in wattage claims gets eliminated. As does every "unnesscessary" part, in order to save money.
I've owned lots of CB amps over the years. When I started out I just ran them stock, but after complaints of crunchy audio from fellow operators and complaints from my girlfriend at the time of the TV being wiped out when I transmitted, I learned how to bias them properly for sideband and started using LPF's.
I still own a re-biased and filtered Palomar 200. It sounds fantastic, and I still get over 160 watts peak from it. I occasionally hook it up to an old 148GTL side mic and make some contacts when I get on a "retro" kick !
