Yes, thanks very much.

I was really thinking of the 813.  Don't think Svetlana is making
that, though.

Not doubting you, just confused then.  Consider (From Svetlana's Specs):

        2 x 572B        4CX400A

PV         2400           2500
PI          500            400
P in       1200           1000 
P out       600            610
Eff.        50%            61%                  


Tnx,

Doug, W4DXV
