i need to chat with you later.

"i have never seen a 225 over here to comment on how they would hold up to my locals abuse but if i wanted a 2x1446 amp myself i know which one i would buy."

with a wide range of export radios producing 4W of Carrier and just at or under 16WPEP the Genuine Palomar 225 will produce 45 - 50W of Carrier and just about 200WPEP in the Medium Power position (200WPEPSSB) and display an inarguably clean pattern in either mode on any scope. it runs cool at these levels when used @ (standard ICAS) 50% duty cycle.

for some idea as to their ruggedness, in 100 units sold only 1 (1%) is returned and when they are the base-emitter (input) junctions of the SD1446's are shorted in both directions, in other words, excessive drive input. we stress test them @ 270WPEP in the final QC check before they are shipped. if a unit doens't pass then it's returned to the front of the line, so to speak. only when the amp passes this test are they shipped out.
