I don't know for the specific model but most of them are about 35 watts (Seen a few that were 30 and a few that were 40).

All I know that is with my 3db antenna it really kicks but from 10 miles away from my area.

What band and radio is it for? I have seen some of the vhf for the xts3000s put out 100 watts.

MTVA/Converta com amp

I am pretty sure they are non-amps. Ie, you can use it with any radio. Their are 3 other models I think, Vhf, Uhf, and 800mhz the first are 25 watts, and the 800mhz are 15w as I recall. I was thinking of using the 1322 with a Dual band amp for my ham install in the car (mirage 2m/70cm amp), would be neat and save money as the 1322's based MTVA are usualy less in demand on Epay

NTN1322 ANY No amp
NTN1324 UHF
NTN1324 VHF
NTN1352 800

These are all from the JEDI series

N1671 MTVA Basic Package with:

Option H34 - 25 Watts (146-174 MHz)
Option Q149 - 25 Watts (449-470 MHz)
Option Q150 - 15 Watts (806-870 MHz)
Option Q151 - 12 Watts (896-941 MHz)

...or you can buy the N1671 basic unit and add an RF Gain in-line amplifier (mine is a RF2080V Model; 100W out!). Mucho cheaper and if you have to change to another band in the future you just buy the matching RF Gain amplifier and reuse the MTVA.

I'm assuming that the N1671 is the basic MTVA for the jedi radios and has the NTN1322B.

I think you have the same idea that I have is use that with a 3rd part 2m/70cm dual band amp and be done with the 'band' issues altogether. Im not too familiary with the MTVA's for the Jedi's yet as I don't have mine in hand, but I'm guessing the basic controller is without an amp is not band specific.

Too many part numbers and options :-)

Thanks for all of the replies. My unit has the amp that is mounted on the controller. The mt2000 is mounted in the the locked holder. I am VHF. There are two seperate power lines to the controller/amp with a third to the ignition. It really sounds like you guys really know your stuff. Jeff

Nope, just bought one and had some of the same questions.... I got a UHF amp and a basic non amped NTN1322, so when it all gets in and sorted out will let you know. Of couse the easiest way to check is get a watt meter :-)
