Anyone know how to convert the mobile palomar 450 amp from 10 to 11 meters or is there a way to begin with? Just curious as to want to get the full swing out of this amp on 11 meters instead of 10.

Yeah, they work fine on 11 meter but since this amp was made for 10 meter, it gets about 100 watts more on swing up around the 28MHZ frequencies.

yeah,but check your swr on the 28. range probably higher to.and when it is higher it will show more power,but its really not.

Yeah, that's a good point too there Jyd!! I just assumed that since it was made for 10 meter, that it would do more on those frequencies but if this is all I get for power, I'm fine with that! I'll just dig out the big boy if I have to!! Hoping that I don't bleed over the neighbor's pacemaker!! LOL!!! Thanks again!!!
