I'm not sure if this right place for this question but here it goes: I just purchased a Magnum S-3 and was wondering what would be the best Amplifier for this radio? I was told that it should be an amp with 4-2SC2879 transistors but I also was told any 4 pill transistor would work fine. Can someone please confirm this?
Thanks

The Following tips are Direct from Sam Lewis at RF Limited and Designed to give you 100% use of your Radio's when using an Amplifier with them.
Owner's of the  MAGNUM RADIO's S-3, S-6, S-9 and S-45 Omega Force and other Radio's that will be using the TOP GUN BOARD, need to read the Following Owner's Tip's.
TIP #1
AMPLIFIER USE with the NEW TOP GUN BOARD!
NOTICE!
These Radio's were NOT designed to be used with 2 Pill Amplifiers!
These New Radio's with the NEW TOP GUN BOARD'S are designed to be used with an AMPLIFIER that has at Least 4-2879's or more, that need's NO Driver / Exciter Stage.
The Ideal Amplifier for use with the Omega Force S-45 or Magnum S-3, S-6, S-9 is the Texas Star 500 with 4- 2SC2879's. With NO DRIVER / EXCITER Stage.
These Radio's with the TOP GUN BOARD were designed to eliminate the need or use of a Driver / Exciter.
For use with other Amplifier's that Use a Driver/Exciter such as the Texas Star 667 that uses 1-SC2290 driving 4-2SC2879's you need to READ the following instructions.
Be Very careful that the Power to the Driver / Exciter is set to NO more than 4 watts and NO More than 12 watts PEP.
Otherwise you will have too much Gain going into the Driver.
It is highly recommended that you have a Professional Set these adjustments for you.
These Tip’s are to help you achieve Top Performance and help you to avoid any problem's that may arise.
As Sam continues to inform me of additional Tip's / Trick's on the RF Limited Product's, I will be posting them for the Owner's of these New radio's.
Hope this helps,
Lon

Thanks to the Techs. I have another question: Are the Texas Stars specifically the 500 already converted or is that an extra cost?
Thanks

I think they are already converted when you buy them from Copper. |

Stickman,
YES, the Texas Star 500 is ready to go right out of the box when you receive your order from Copper.
