I have a Centurion at my contest station in Barbados that works flawlessly on 10-80 but will arc on 160. It is tuned into a resonant antenna with a reasonable SWR. On 160, the amp will occasionally a

Rich and Tom, I'm pretty sure there's no RF switching circuit in that amplifier. About the only use of this I remember in amateur amps was a mobile solid-state amp. I doubt it would have a relay jack

Thanks to all respondents for the thoughts. A few comments. 1. The fact that it does not happen with the other amps does work against my theory. I should note that the other amps are not the same (AL

How did you have the keying hooked up, Tom? It looks like the Centurion uses a scheme similar to the Alpha 78 whereby you plug your keyer into the amplifier to generate relay closure, and then the am
