I have never heard of this type of Amp. If the Amp is working check the wattage on your SWR power meter. JIM/ PA/ CEF375 |

are you sure thats not a car stereo amp? are there connectors on it that look just like the antenna connector on the back of your radio?

It is not a car amp..It is a base linear and it seems to wurk...shows only 80 watts or so after warming up..It is a transistor type and not a tube type. It has 3 switches on the front. 1-power,2-preamp and 3-am/ssb. To me it seems it is just a modulator of some kind. Th ecompany doesnt even exist anymore...Now thats sad...lol |

It could be that the amp requires a "driver" ? |

I have a mobile amp made by same company and it puts out around 175 to 200 watts. The company was: Digital Sports Systems Seventh and Elm West Liberty, Iowa-52778 Great little amp. I have had it for several years and never had any problems with it. I live in Iowa,so I will do some research on it and see what I can come up with. Semper Fi!!! Unit199 Harve CEF210 |

You can tell about how much it should put out by what the pills are rated at, and by how many pills are in it. JIM/ PA/ CEF 375
