well i bought the one above it with the preamp in it and it works good. i get about 70 watts with 8 am watts into it give or take. and it sounds good. it has a 1446 driver in it and i think its a lil small on the heatsink side cause she gets hot!! very quick but put a small fan on her and she just runs good! youll like it just put the fan on it! good luck |

What should you have for a dead key for best performance on this little amp? |

I have one of these, and I love it. Im putting in around 8 watts and getting around 70 out. Thats all I wanted. But mine does not get hot ?? I talked on it the other night for about an hour and it only got a little warm, I forgot to cut it off and left it on all night, got in truck next morning wasnt even hot..But these amps are great, whether they get a little warm or not. |

I have one in my rig use a Cobra 25 Clasic with it, radio dead keys 4+ watts swings up to 20 watts through amp amp does 50 watts dead key swings to 100+ with wissle. Does not get hot and has very little insurchion loss. Sounds good on the air! |

Just to let you know, that if you have a cobra 25 ,no matter what year that will swing 20 watts I will pay you $200. I thought I was going to laugh myself silly when I read that. The cobra only has one final in it and will only swing at best 8-10 watts and thats pushing it with a good power mic.Now for the amp.If you have a regular CB you can lower the dead key to around 3 watts and if you can get it to swing it will key around 100 and swing to 125.On a RCI or the like set the dead key to 3 watts and swing high.I can get mine to key 110 and swing 175 RMS. Does around 210 on SSB.MAn,that thing does get hot and that is a concern.Adding the fan helps but who wants a fan getting in the way of mounting.I wonder how long it will last without one.Hmmmmm |

Thunderbolt,
This is not hard to do, maybe you are using a meter that reads RMS, I use a B&K 1040 precision CB service master that reads RMS and Peak reading and i was quoteing the PEP wattages. I have a Cobra 25 Clasic & a Cobra 25 ST and a Uniden PC68XL that will do 20+ pep watts with no problem. Hope you have a great day! |

I can't beleave what i read about the Cobra 25 not being capable of 20 watts ! I have better luck getting watts from the 25 and unden PC66 than i do the C-29 and the U-76, 25 watts Pep is easily acheivable with the change of a few resistors,and very little tuneing the 1969 final doesnt really help with wattage but will stand more heat and abuse,the stock final will handle it but will not handle a high standing wave!Later all ,,,73's BamBam_138 |

Something is wrong, the KL-203 shown in the online catalog is a KL-163, and it says nothing about a pre-amp. Also the RMItaly web site has no KL-203. Im guessing by what others have written here that the KL-203 has a pre-amp. Can someone clear this up ? |

In addition to my last post, what is the KL-200P all about ? It looks like a KL-160P to me. It does have a pre-amp. I guess Im looking for some clarification about these two amps... |
