Thanks to all that replied to my query. I was quite surprised that
the ALC line would inhibit CW operation
on the FT-900. From the responses I see that there is no reason to
use the ALC line so one less cable to mess with !
To Carl: I'm glad to see you specializing in SB-200's
and SB-220's. I wasn't aware of the quality that was built into these
until I undertook the task of trying to get an old Dentron
'Dog'(160-10L) fired up this Spring. What the SB-200 has that the
Dentron doesn't:
1). Grid current monitoring
2). Output current monitoring
3). Swr monitoring
4). Tuned input circuit
5). Isolation of input and output circuits
6). A quality manual and circuit diagram
My intent is to use the Dentron on 160m only but after making 18
fixes and changes, it still doesn't work.
I am now so impressed with quality that went into the SB-200 that I
have to consider these old amps as 'Best Buy' values.
Thanks again to everyone.
