the one i have has the 2sc2879 in it ....dont know if it came that way but they are in it ........The amplifier in question with this tread is the Texas Star DX667V and that uses a 2SC2290 driver transistor. It is this part that determines the amplifier drive requirements. Not the 2SC2879 finals. The Cobra 148GTL is a more appropriate radio to drive this amp then anything that produces 45 watts PEP.
