radio shack hta-20
Is there anyway to convert this amp to run in 6m? I know im probably
asking a stupid question but i want to get back into radio with a simple vx-5r . I figured if I could get this amp to do 6m it would allow me to work a few repeaters from pretty much anywhere on my commutes. If not, any ideas for a economical amp that would do say 50-100 watts? Thanks a bunch. KF4URO |

Thanks a bunch. KF4URO most repeaters use rather low power - so you only need low power to contact one. usually if you can hear it - you can break its squelch with 25 watts or less.

Any ideas? |
