Cascading IPs maybe if you're running an intermediate amp to drive the big
one.

|I don't see 10 watts as a problem.  How many 2 meter amps do you have on
the
| shelf just waiting to be used again?  40 w 15 years old ($90 new then),
two
| converted police amps (ugly but they work well) both run over 85 watts
| continuous with 5 watts in ($50) at hamfests if there any still around)
and
| a 140 w that takes 2 watts drive for full power and the other is a 160 w
| that runs full output at 35 watts and over half of that from an ht
(don't
| remember exactly how much).  10 watts a problem? - i just don't see it.

| Lots of external amps out there.
