Mrsandman,

My Lincoln with the MRF455 runs great with any amplifier I have used it on.

I have my dead key set an 2-1/2 watts and have no problems.

And I have never seen an amplifier yet that can determine what kind of final is driving it.

Mrsandman,

Sorry but there is NO amplifier out there in the radio world that can tell what kind of radio is connected to it.

All a amplifier see's is the Input Drive Power weather it is from a Uniden Pro510 or a Ranger 2995DX.

If a radio is set up correctly and properly aligned then 3 watts out is 3 watts out no mater what kind of radio you are using.
