WOW...that is superb DX Lee! Ohio to Kansas. It must really take 2500W
to make that path thru the acid rain.
As I replied to Patrick, I am not knocking QRO at all; I just have no
experience with their products, reliability, etc. Anyone that wants to be
a Guinea pig be my guest; just remember that you are on the "leading
edge" . Amplifier companies come and go.
My ONLY comment on this reflector is that I did not like the idea of one
muffin fan blowing across a pair of 3-500Z's that are in line with the
air flow. I never did get any feedback on that or it they are still using
that setup...I missed Dayton.
