Bill et al,
Sorry to hear about your negative experiences. Perhaps yours was
built on a Monday morning and by a pink elephant?
Other than an initial problem with TR relay contact alignment, mine
has performed flawlessly and at QRO levels on RTTY. I usually back
down to 1kw out on RTTY for long term contest operation.
I have never tried 160m RTTY, but I did run full legal limit in the
ARRL 160m CW contest and had not a problem one (1st AZ multi, too).
I really wasn't soliciting amplifier comments at this time, but was
merely asking if there is an MFJ/Ameritron reflector...will keep the
ones supplied on file, though, for reference.
Good luck with the 8877 amplifier, but I like my 3cx1200 just fine:
takes a bit more drive, but no grid fragility problems, and impossible
to overdrive with my FT-1000mp.
MY current "homebrew" project is a NorCal Sierra multi-band 3w CW HF
rig for camping and portable/battery operation, BTW.
