Well with this hobby you never know you to believe or trust... and that's sad really...I've had people tell me some crazy stuff when I ask questions. Like simple stuff like they don't want me to know or something.And this isn't from just one place. Butt...Since I posted I've talked to some people that have had kl 203p amp that have bleed but nothing to serious. Not bad enough to reach the neighbor's place but some computer speakers on the desk where the amp was and the house phone. Another had a brand new radio hooked up to one and it got into his phone and his car stereo in the garage. But other than just a couple small problems. There was nothing major.

Only issue I have had with my base, was with the 1x4 XForce bleeding a little bit on my daughters head phones...I put a ferrite choke on the cord where the headphones plug is at, and that took care of that problem...But were also talking about a amp that kicks out just under 1000w's...My tube amps didn't mess with her headphones at all, and they do 700-800w's.
Most of the electronic devices that amps mess with, are usually the cheaper built stuff like computer speakers, cheap headphones or ear buds because those devices just don't have very good (if any) filtering... Flat screen TV set's are all digital, so no worries there.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to run a high watt amp...But the budget just won't allow it...lol I'll barely be able to squeeze out the $70 for the kl 203p.

Have to start somewhere...Actually you have the best idea...Best start off small till you get your feet wet...I've seen lots of guys go out and spend hundreds of dollars on big amps, only to blow them up in a few weeks because they didn't take the time to set everything up right to start with, then be out hundreds of more dollars trying to get their stuff fixed...Blow-up a $70 amp, you just get frustrated and a little ticked-off...Blow up a 400-500+ dollar amp, and first thing your doing is blaming the person who built the box, and turning around and buying another one from someone different thinking the first guy didn't know what he was doing...
Then after blowing the second box up, you start asking questions that you should have asked in the beginning...
Start off small, then work your way up...small boxs can be more forgiving if you don't quite have everything tuned perfect...Bigger the box, the less forgiving they are, and allot easier to screw up.
I should know...Think at one time the people down at the Toshiba factory knew me by name, as many pills as I was popping!
Tiny one good thing is the 203p amp has the 1 dollar a piece mosfets in it. so cheap to change them out when and if they do blow. I have a kl203 amp which it does not have the preamp in it and I got it in about 202. normally I do not run a amp but have ran it ever once in a while and it puts out about 175 watts on SSB. it is all I really need since any thing larger does not really make much of a difference on the receiving radios.
I have a base RM amp which is the 550 and some texas star amps,250, 350 and 500V. I got them when I had a lul in cb radios until 1997 and got back into radios then. just like you I wanted more power and found the 203 was really all I needed. so do not jump into any thing big just to have it. in fact I got the 203 amp free with some radio purchases I made in the early 2000 time. I use to buy and sell a long with repairs.
I think you will be happy with the KL203P amp. at one time I had a tube amp that would put out almost 1,000 watts and sold it since tubes where getting hard to find .
