yup, S9 keying around 10 watts, swinging near 40, sounds REAL good. my delta keying 8 and swinging 30 sounds AWESOME as well. receive on my S9 is excellent-for a CB. my early delta, while a bit noisy with all that white hash, also has an ecellent receiver, thanks to chris holland. SSB xmit on the delta is 2nd to none. SSB on the S9 is a bit rough, but since i use 'other' more sophisticated equipment for SSB communications, i've yet to mess with the talkback/echo which i think is what is introducing a bit of rf hash into its xmit. anyway, would NEVER think of using the topgun equipped S9 at 1/4 watt carrier & 40 watts swing-my XL at 5 carrier & only 17 swing smokes it set that way! hey, 5 watts of dead key is 20 times that of a quarter watt no matter how you slice it
