That I am not sure... I am going to be picking up this equipment sometime this week and have to haul it home before I can check it out. All my knowledge thus far is what I have heard from 2 different GE Radio guys on the phone...Thanks! Chuck Kelsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is the

I am looking at acquiring a GE Master II UHF Base station. This is a 300 watt solid state transmitter, which how I understand it, has 2 PAs running in parallel. It's actually 200 watts, and yes, there are two final PA's, each capable of 100 watts output, that are combined. However, each final
