That is what I use in my mobile station and it provides about 250W due to the FCC amplifier gain requirements. I am fine with it, as that is what I have and higher power may affect the vehicle. I have seen someone post a modification to remove an attenuator in the amp and recalibrate the power meter, but I would assume that Elecraft will not be allowed to do that, as the FCC Cert holder. 73, Mark W7MLG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
