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

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.

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.
