Hello Everyone,

It's been a few years since I was on this list but I am looking for some
advice.  I currently run a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1KFX solid state amplifier
which I like very much.  It puts out a dependable 600 watts on all bands.
but, I've flirted a bit with the idea of running a little more power,
perhaps a KW out the pipe.  My budget currently wouldn't handle the expense
of a higher power solid state amp so I am looking at options or a possible
trade with someone who wants a compact, quality amp for travel, DXPeditions
or similar uses.

I am totally blind and so want to avoid possible damage to my amp through
not being able to constantly keep track of meter readings such as grid
current.  So, I am asking for some recommendations.  Which of the high power
tubes are most bullet proof against inadvertent over driving and the like?
And, what amps out there run these tubes?  I would really appreciate
thoughts on this.

thanks much and very 73 to all.

Kevin :)
