[VHFcontesting] K3LFO Rover Upgrading

[Bill Olson]

Remember if you get the Pyro Joe amp that it only needs a milliwatt or so of 
drive, so you can get the DEMI transverter as the "low power" version and 
save some $$. Of course that means you would have to use it all the time 
with the amp, but that was probably the intent. Also remember the Toshiba 
amp runs on 12 volts and is class A so it draws 20 amps continuously when 
the PTT line is keyed, so your distribution system need to keep that in 
mind.. And the Toshiba amp needs a really good heatsink (seeing that it is 
dissipating a couple hundred watts of heat!!!) Other than that, the amp is 
totally bulletproof! and a bargain...
