Hi Dave,
The medical version of the 800 and the 3CPX800A7 are usually the same
tube....just a standard tube selected for high emission.
The Lunar Link 70cm amp will do 1500W out from a pair of the 3CPX
versions.
Any pull should be sold with a money back guarantee as long as it is
known to be going into a commercial amp. Home brew amps are something
else again and you have to play that one by ear......knowing the customer
sure helps!
