Suggestions for a 2 meter amp?

Harry_Yingst
I installed the internal 2 meter module in my K3 so now I'm in the
market for a good Amplifier to bring it up to at least 100 watts.

The K3 puts out 10 watts so the amp needs to be 10 Watts input

Any Suggestions?

Thank you

I use a Mirage B-310-G with my K144XV. It is rated at 3W in 100W out,
but the power curve on Mirage's website goes up to 8W in with 100W+
out.  My K144XV only puts out about 7-8 watts so I have never had any
problems with over driving it.

I would suggest the TE Systems 1452G.

Same here on the K144XV power out.  6 - 8 watts max which is fine for this
amplifier.

I have found that all the TES amps don't need anywhere near their rated max
input to achieve full output.

The TE Systems 1452G is a great amp but it takes a large power supply.  If you want to keep it simple and only need around 100 watts the Mirage B-310-G is a good choice.

At the risk of blowing our own trumpet here:

We can supply it to order configured for 110-120V mains input.
