Anthony:
I'm going with the 100-watt version.
Had thought of the 200-watt version, but thought I might need a bigger
supply, which was then start to defeat my space-saving efforts in the RV.
Also, I didn't think I'd really gain much with the 200-watt version--3 DB of
signal would help, but shouldn't make a terrible amount of difference.
