It's good to 160 watts. I know that \nthis isn't what you want but it seems to me that there is still a way to \nemploy a sequencer with it for other applications. I got literature with \nit that stated as much, although I can't place my hands on it now. One \nthing I will mention is that if you wish to power an ARR preamp through \nthe coax, you have specify this to them when you order it. They then \ninstall the necessary parts at the amp end. Otherwise it's designed to \nbe powered seperately through a military spec. connector which they \nsupply. Don't know if this helps but since I have your example brand of \npre-amp I thought I'd chime in.\n73,\nMichael, W4HIJ\n\n> At 11:35 PM 2/3/2007 +0000, [email protected] wrote:\n> \n>> I am considering my next station upgrade to be mast mounted preamp(s).
