307: Could you enlighten me concerning a new technology called a Mega Pak that some techs are installing in radios.Power improvement radio kits are coming out so fast these days I can't keep up with them. |

Hmmm , I would have to guess since the "mod kits" burned out since people found out after cutting them open that they were a hoax that MEGA PAK is a new name to bring them back . YOU DO NOT NEED KITS TO INCREASE POWER OR MODULATION!!!! |

Actually, the Mega Pack is not a mod kit. I bought a radio with this. It was a Galaxy 44V. Another final is added to the output. I have two Galaxy 44V's. One that is tuned and one with a mega pack. On my meter, the tuned Galaxy 44V deadkeys 8 watts and swings 27 watts. On the mega packed Galaxy 44V, the radio deadkeys 12 watts and swing 52 watts. I still questioned it, so I took it to a Ham friend that has a room full of test equipment. He had a Bird 43P and an O-scope. The radio looked very clean on AM and swung 46 on his meter. I was very impressed. |

id love to know how everyone gets 40-50 watts out of 2 finals thats combined output is only 37 watts total speaking of the 2sc2312's @18.5 watts each.at 70%efficient on the amp circut this would be 26 watts.coarse if ya load it down with over 100% modulation and get the harmonics a kicking it would look much nicer on the meter but sound much trashier on the air! maybe you could explain this for me thanx and 73's patriot |

Hi all, The company, or "corporation" as they call themselves, who offers this so called "service" has questionable advertising practices. A simple check of the Better Business Bureau of Central East Texas would tell a perspective customer all they need to know about this "corporation". BUYER BE WARE!!! 73's Tim |
