Many have asked why I would "replace" my AL-1200:

1. Not QSK (IMHO, the TR relay is the weakest part 
   of the whole thing). -I realize this could be "fixed"

2. It requires a more drive than a pair of '800s.

OTOH:

1. Power supply rated for 2500w.

2. Peter Dahl transformer.

3. Simple, reliable design.

4. Very rugged 3CX1200 tube (50w GRID dissipation).

5. Legal limit.

Anyway, the AL-1200 is for sale, $1400 obo. If I don't
sell it, I'll keep the 'MP on the HF-2500 and drive it
with the 'D...

For CW, I really wanted QSK and did not want to modify it,
though I may if I keep it...
