Well, I can really step in it my first day here. I have to say he is watched on YouTube. I did not buy a radio from him. I bought a Stryker 955HPC, I wanted SSB.

SORRY

No worries, Scott.
This site has had a handful of troublemakers who have been booted off. My first thought was you were one who had managed to sneak back in under an alias.
But that's hard to do given Captain Kilowatt's savvy and the tools at his disposal. He takes care of us.

Unless Texas Star has redesigned the V mod it is not biased. The old Vmod had a 2290 and was class C. Since you have a ssb radio I thought that might be worth mentioning. The biasing in the rest of the texas star line up was only slightly better than none at all.

Good evening Radio Friends,
Well I'm thinking about adding a small amp to my radio setup in my car. The amp I'm looking at is a Texas star modulator V- plus v with a set of 2879 transistors, it does 100 watts max, the power is variable and has auto SSB built in,there only asking $189.00 + free shipping and it's in my price range! What I need to know(since it's been about almost 15 years since I ran a amp) yes I know it's illegal, but what I need to know is if I can just plug and play so to speak or do I have to have my radio opened up to have the dead key lowered for it to work properly! I have a Wilson 1000 so I know it can handle the power,I just need to know about hooking it up and so forth! I welcome any suggestions and or comments, Many thanks in advance and God Bless!!

Who are you trying to talk to that you can't talk to now? Is it worth the investment & you still may not reach them with just 100 watts unless conditions are just right & conditions are the big key & we have no control over that.

The Texas Star Mod/V Mod is not a good choice for SSB.
It just sounds like crap no matter what you do.
Been there years ago.

The KL-203 takes up little room, will run off same circuit as the radio, and does the job.

I run that same mic on my cobra 29. Always get reports of loud and clear. I might get one of those 203s to give it a little kick.
