My radio is hitting a 3 watt dead key and swings to 13. Will their be a problem hooking up the Palomar 250 to that? If so...could anyone reccomend the proper amp for my needs?

Thanks.

Actually that is the ultimate setting. It will sound great.

With that setting I'd recommend running the Pal 250 in low and medium only. In high position your amp's carrier will be at or over 50% of the total power and could cause distortion or "muffling" along with much heat.
That setting of your radio would be better suited to a Pal 400, Cobra 450xl, or XForce 200hd.

A 3w carrier into a TS 350 HD will yeild around a 200w carrier, a bit hefty for maximum clarity and will run hot.

You're getting what you should get in "swing", too much in carrier. The carrier should be 1/4 or 1/3 of the peak. Back your radio down so the carrier is around 100w.
