For starters Palomar does not actually build any amps, the name is just being used cause it sells. If your amp is a 2x4 as you stated then great, lets get er working. A 2-3 watt dead key should be fine, you will need at least #4 wire to the amp and an 80 amp fuse, six or nine foot jumper, good SWR, good groundssss and your all set.

And.... RF chokes are small or large circular or rectagular objects (ferrite Core) that you can wrap your power cords, computer cords, phone cords, etc. with to stop interference to electronics. Radio shack sells them among others. Some are snap together.

Item # 273-104 and 273-105 Either less than $10

I'm not sure if COPPER sells them.
