What does bi-linear mean when it comes to an amplifier?

It means it has a built in Pre Amp.
When turned on it increases the gain of the signal when receiving, or another way to say it is, it boost`s the signal coming into your radio when you are listening.
As for what class of Amp it is, that depends.....there are so many copy cat amps that have a Palomar name stuck on them the build vary `s from unit to unit.
If it is an old TX100, they were built for low drive, about 3-4 watts or less, and my guess is a couple of MRF 454`s in it.

The term push-pull has a whole different meaning when talking amplifiers than that. I suppose in the CB world a push-pull amp is an amp with a preamp for the receiver but in reality a push-pull amp is an amp with a pair of tubes/transistors with each of them conducting on half the RF cycle and combined at the output usually through a transformer type winding instead of simply being in parallel.
Me too.
I was gonna ask that question!
Now you know Pat.
What is the most common problem with the preamp not working in the old palomar tx-100 bi liniear and how can i fix this problem at home ? Besides cleaning the relays is there any componants i may wnt to replace in the preamp circuit
I have a pride 150 bi liniear thats transmitting on its own as soon as power switch turns on and its not stuck relays they click on when power switch switches on
Is it actually producing power? What position is the pre-amp switch in? If it's in the "ON" position, the relay will energize at power on.
