So when you run the dx 1600 what’s the volts on the power supply people say run atv14.5 15 volts I have 200 amp regulated power supply fat boy does good for me new dx 1600 amp Texas star running with stonewall Jackson base people tell me I’m loud on this radio compared to my rci 2995dx cf
Welcome! You should be safe with 14.5 and I think I run my 350 at 15. Back when Toshiba transistors were cheap and plentiful, guys would run 20v or more but those days are gone. The dei and hg transistors don't seem to be able to take as much abuse as the Toshiba. If you are not trying to get every last watt out of it then it will last a long time. The Jackson and 1600 is a great set up. I am looking at getting a 1600 myself.
Yeah I have fat boy 200 amp power supply goes to 16 v but I’m not doing that probably good at 15 or 14.5 when I key up the volts barely drop good set up just wanna make sure I don’t abuse or over drive I like the swing but with the stone wall it has the 2 pills in the radio and I have compared and was told when using the rci 2995 dx cf sounds like Tin can sound lol then stone wall has more loud punch sound still like the ranger I have 4 base radios yaesu ftdx 1200 ranger 69ffb4 then the other 2 thanks for the get back
I run 14.0 volts from a 150amp power supply, as I dont want to be to hard on the thing as its not really a comp box. just started playing with the at -6666, I usually drive the sweet 16 with my trusty old 2990DX and that thing really tickles the the sweet 16.
Do you think running it at 15.volts would be bad and how many watts does the sweet 16 put out
