/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I would recommend an RM Italy amp because they're powerful, cheap and reliable but they're really sensitive and only want 1-2 watts dead key and I haven't been able to turn any of my cobra 29s down low enough to run them.
If you supply too much power they saturate and swing backwards and sound like shit, ive had to put all 5 of my 29s into storage because they're all useless to me since you can't turn the tx power down low enough.
The solution is to buy an amp that accepts higher wattage inputs, or buy a radio that can be turned down low enough.
Matching the amp to the radio can be a big headache from my experience kek
I had like 6 29s at one point, I literally started giving them away, they can't do SSB and they don't work well with my linears so I have no use for them.
I recommend the 980SSB to everyone who asks what radio to buy, theyre easy to turn down to match with a linear and they do SSB very well.
