OK done some home work, and found the answer =D> =D>

Hi Guys,

Any ideas where to start looking for an amp for the Ranger 2950?

Use a RM KL203 Mosfet Linear amp around £37.00. 10w in am/fm, 20w in SSB, will give you 100w am/fm and 200w SSB plenty of punch for the money and extrememly reliable. they use 4 rm3 transistors, are very reliable and take 10amp (13 ...

That statements not a problem, except 1. Im not in the US, 2. Gordon Brown is a twit like the majority that voted for him - pleased to say Im Blue until the day I die.

11m has no correlation to 11ft !!!!!!!!!!!

Well thanks for the scientific replies, always easy to dispel without proof to back up the argument so here's mine.
I knew somwhere I had read about this previously, and admit ...

Yep it will be winging its way over to Andy sometime in the next couple of weeks, just waiting for it to be delivered. I suppose i was hoping I havent wasted £12.00 on what could be a terrific bargain.
