[Amps] CB Amps or full spectrum???

>BTW, a 1N5408 on top of an output transistor makes a fair temperature 
regulator. Not perfect but its cheap and simple as a retrofit of an existing 
brick.<
If the diode is used just as a shunt regulator, that's a not very good bodge. If it's used as asensor in a regulator, that's better, although the thermal coupling is nowhwere near as good as one would like. RCA had a transistor (back in the 1960's) with an extra diode on the chip for temperature compenstion, but somehow the idea never caught on.
