I purchased this amp 10 or 11 years ago at a pawn shop for $50.00. It
was about the same condition it is now. I used it in my 92 Tbird with a
Uniden PRO510XL and a K40 Trunk Mount antenna. I had forgotten all about
it until I found the keys to the car.

I posted 2 picture in the Members Picture area and I have more in my WEBSHOTS album (same name- BadTA00)
.
I'd appreciate any info given. I had to try and figure this all out when
I got it but I'm still lost in all the functions and switches.
A friend at work tested it and in High it puts out 133 Watts. Thank You
in advance.

not sure what you want to know about the amp, but it is your basic everyday 2 pill. should put out about 120-150 watts PEP.
dont hook it up to any radio that has dual finals, or dead keys higher than 3-4 watts.
a 2 watt dead key would be perfect.
no more than about 20-25 watts swing.

make sure you use 10ga. or bigger wire and run the positive right to the battery.
keep the negative lead short and run it to the vehicle body with a 10ga. or bigger wire. (seat bolts make a nice place for this)

as for the controls on the front:
from left to right:

1. this is your power out level. high should be about 120-150 watts, and low is probably about half that. medium is somehwere in between.

2. is the receiver preamp. when the switch is flipped up, you will notice an increase in the noise of your CB's receive. it can help a bit on hearing weak signals, but not much since it also increases the background noise. i would leave it off most of the time.

3. this is your AM or SSB selector switch.
when your radio is in SSB mode, switch the switch up. when you are in AM mode, switch it down.

4.this is your power on off switch. pretty self explanitory. dont forget to turn it off when you get out of your car.LOL

good luck,
matt
