Sirio megawatt 4000 and Hi-power 4000 differences ?

Post by bigpimp347 »

well i've looked and apart from the design of the base coil there is no difference.
so what is the difference, i have one of each (both cost me £10 with bases)

i bought a hi-power the other day for my van, as i already have a megawatt which i found pretty good, but now i'm wondering what is the difference ??

Dont think there is any (apart from appearance).
The only way (apart from dismantling them) is to try them as in find a weak QSO then swap aerials on your van and see if the signal alters.

Yeah I know, old thread. 😁
But I have the highpower 4000 and watching this video I happened to notice the megawatt.



According to knights "Exactly the same specs as the Hypower 4000 but with a slightly different loading coil."

Although the megawatt is reduced ATM so £5 cheaper lol.

So a bit more info if a search brings this thread up 👍🏼
