Why not pick up a used Centaur? Basically the same amp as an 811H but with
Ten-Tec quality, built-in QSK, and set up to work with all Ten-Tec rigs.
You can pick up a pristine used one for $600 or under... a real bargain when
you consider what an Ameritron PSK-5 adds to the price of an AL811H. Best
of all, your station's all Ten-Tec!
I dunno why Ten-Tec doesn't put out a limited run of this amp, modified to
use (and take advantage of) the 572B tube. I bet that 100 of them would
sell in a couple of months.
