Syntor X 9000 or another model?

[BP245]

I need a UHF trunk-mount radio that can push an excess of 200-watts out (transmit). Is the 'Syntor X 9000' the radio I need? If not what other Motorola models would you suggest? **** The focus is on stability and power out from a vehicle that can provide +12vdc -negative ground upwards to +15vdc negative ground ****

I'm mildly curious why you need to pump out 200w from a vehicle radio. Most base or repeater stations don't even use this much power, plus most mobile antennas aren't rated for that mcuh juice. In any case, a X9000 (or for that matter pretty much any other high power Motorola mobile radio) maxes out at 110w. I suppose you could put an amp on it if you're really bound and determined...

Let's see:

The radio won't do it (indeed, I've not seen *any* commercial radios intended for mobile mounting capable of 200 watts).
Most mobile antennas won't do it.
Many vehicle electrical systems wouldn't be able to provide enough stable input, anyway.
RF field strength/exposure concerns.
Significant risk of interference to on-board vehicle computers.

All for a less-than-3dB improvement over a typical high-power mobile. Care to share your thought processes behind needing 200 watts output?

I would hope there's a good reason... but I suspect the reason it roughly akin to a CB keydown contest.

I plan on upgrading the finals

I do in fact have the vehicle vdc and current in place. I already have a mara trac doing 190watts from the vehicle However I want a radio that does have a feature rich computer in it such as the Mara trac because I have provided +15.2 -negative ground in order to get that 190watt output. This is where the Syntor X 9000 or some other model will come into play.

I'll take my chances here (on-board computer)

Yes however on a commercial level = The better (more powerful) wins the job. People using weak radios don't eat well.

Lets start with this..

What exactly is the application?

I am reading TAXI CAB...... ("The better (more powerful) wins the job. People using weak radios don't eat well.")

Anyway there are power output and ERP restrictions in most radio services............
