Its was a standard Trio (Now Kenwood) setup in the car, so 50 to 100w from memory, feed that into infective 1/4 helical was probably only chucking out about 25W erp.

The kenwood/trio had 100w amp built-in as did the sommerkamps,think they were a re badged kenwood.

my transceiver of choice due to cost was a multimode 2 or a jumbo.
as for mobile linears had a few, ct163x,B300, had some that i cant remember the name of,built in cooling fans etc, all 12v.

and the antenna was a 9ft 1/4wave whip. (no coils)
