power output

[bango690]

i have a intek m790 plus. a friend of mine told me that a twist of a screwdriver in the rig can increase the out put,

is this also possable on my rig? if so witch one do i adjust?

would like a bit more range but dont want to run a burner!

many thanks

rig expert job only i'm afraid. Some companies, will up them to export power for you and increase the modulation. Both help you get out better (a bit), but need special equipment and knowledge.

I would make sure you're running the tallest antenna first and preferably not on a mag. that will make a big difference.

i am running a small orbitor on a gutter mount atm but i would like to get the optimum range for this set up drilling holes is not a option (to nice a truck)
but if u look in the 4x4 section u will see that i got other problems to sort! Grr lol

any way its not as simple as it used to be? so its a burner option then? (looking for about a 15 - 20 mile range

I would never mess about with a burner until all the rest is working properly.
Put a full size orbiter on or better still a centre loaded orbiter.

A burner can often aggrevate problems further.

top range antenna wilson or sirio will improve your performance with an echo mic for the audio set to minimum echo leval or just above

base coil only as the truck goes under trees and carparks. but like i said i dont want to go down the burner route (it is illagial after all and dont want to spoil every ones fun )

How will an echo mic improve the radio's performance? A power mic on the other hand would improve the modulation if it's currently a little quiet.

Main thing to concentrate on is the antenna, get a decent one, get the SWR low and bob's your teapot..

Getting a few extra watts from the radio is not going to make much difference, if any at all!

ok thanks for the replies, now to sort out the main problem! (wish i had sorted it b4 i went on holiday

an echo mic is also a power mic use of the echo at very low levels remove a lot of the base in your voice thus being clearer on tx
