John :
If you are real lucky, you will wind up with about 35 watts of real power
<g> Amplifier ratings are one of the biggest lies around !
Seriously, you get only the power produced by the external amp, unless you
also have speakers connected to the radio's power outputs. It takes a very
special amplifier design on both sides to be able to strap amplifiers
together for combined power output (and even then it can cause problems).
