>the AL-1500 is the battleship of them all
Rod,
Quite a report!
I too have been wanting to go big-time and get a serious HF amp. However,
more than 90% of my activity is on RTTY, and this presents a few problems.
First, my main radio is a Yaesu 767GX, and in RTTY mode it runs 50 watts.
The Yaesu guys want me to run 30 watts (!!!) but this does not seem
necessary, unless I am trying to run stations in a contest ; normally I
simply limit text to 5 lines.
So, the amp needs to go to full power with 50 watts drive (or maybe a
little more).
Second, the amp needs to be loafing at 1500 watts. I suppose this means a
box capable of more like 2200 watts so I can turn it down.
Do you think the AL-1500 could fill the bill?
Tnx de Mike N4XSE
