Maybe print out the reply I gave you so you aren't forgetting anything; since the amplifiers are very different in their requirements. Well, this is the one with the SWA- terminal which I have connected to the A- lead, which runs to a 12V scooter battery negative lead. The A+ lead goes to the scooter battery + terminal through a 20A fuse. RF input is on the side with the power lugs, and output on the other side via BNCs. There is a pot labeled "Power set" which I have set to mid-range, and I've tried it at various settings, with the same result. Input TX is at 446.9 Ahhhhhh...  If it's the one with the SWA- lead, that is the VHF amplifier....  It won't work on UHF, even with the two watts of drive.  <grin> Maybe mark the amplifiers with a marking pen so you don't get them confused....
