Are you spying on my HAM life? I have been wanting to compare hits versus misses on my local repeaters, but not with variations in power, but using two different antennas. Testing like this saves a lot of other people's time! Thanks for this one!!!

As always, thanks for the great vid Steve. Especially appreciate this vid on the Btech amp. I've been THINKING about getting one of these myself for specific applications (Kenwood TH-72 running APRS). For the $$ it seems OK providing it doesn't get too warm. Our friend in TN, KM4ACK has some vids of using this with his FT3D in a vehicle, and he says zero problems. The other option I've been looking at is picking up something used, like an older radio shack 2m amp. With those, and Mirage, the built-in heat sync is very prominent, making me think they may have an edge regarding heat managment. So, still thinking on this end....but always enjoy seeing vids on equipment I'm thinking of adding to the shack! 73, Tim.

I have one of those older amps to test out, and I agree in your thoughts... I'd only add that 40+ year newer tech should be better designed to handle heat and be more efficient... should...

that a great little amp. I have the UHF one. does the same with power with drive, it max out. has limit on power. I use on HT . wish they had a UHF/VHF dule band one. I run mine on a LiFePO4 battery . great boost into a j-pole antenna. love how it can connects to K1 connector. great for Baofeng HT. 73's

huh - was wondering why a mic jack on an amplifier - I guess that lets you use a regular desk mic or dtmf mic with an HT. Nice for economy operating, but given you can get a whole chinese 25 watt radio for around the same money, or 50+ watt Japanese radio for another $30, not sure if worth it.

It's designed to boost your HT easily - leave this in your car, hard mounted with good power and antenna. Then take your HT when you leave. Check out this demo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9kj-xGTzh7E.html

I always found the a good antenna and hight let me hit repeaters with out a hill in way reliably 20miles away. When I could get 25w I could get on one blocked by a hill with reflections. So what antenna did you use and how high? Thank you for the video on the FT817/8.

I use the non digital version on my gmrs repeater. My repeater is a pair of Motorolas cdm 1550s, have set max at 2w, at 2.5 the amp freaks out for some reason but is happy below or at 2 pushing out 30w at the duplexer. Clean, zero issues and no worries about my duty cycle or heat with my repeater.
