One caveat here... if you happen to set the ALC levels for low freq
tones, say 600 Hz, then end up using 2150 Hz, that level may very well
be well off, overdriving or underdriving while the radio tries to
compensate with varying power levels or accidental distortion. So one
should be cautious
I've had pretty good success with the KPA500, but since you asked,
another couple S units is always better than less. If you don't need
1500 out, dial it back. You can't push a smaller amp up, but you can
throttle a large amp down... there if you need it.

BUT: regardless of which method(s) you choose, PLEASE trim your response
to the least amount of cruft. It's polite, it's faster to read and for
those that still have data caps (VERY common in many areas), it matters.

No it is not insignificant but the price point is very acceptable if you
look at other similar amps, even better when you factor in the tuner
(repackaged KAT500? the range limits are similar). Then add in the
superior level of support that you'll get compared to most other
companies (and
