[Amps] Mobile Amps ?

[Carl]

Mike,  I dont know if SSB IMD quality is important to you but I cant think 
of any 12V mobile amp that is even close to acceptable. OTOH with the 
typical mobile signal, especially 160-40, it may not be important but a low 
VSWR is best by far. On CW key clicks are aggravated by VSWR so an automatic 
tuner is also desirable.
