In my opinion buy surplus. If you really want a work horse and
have the room forget the amateur desktop amps and get a used
commercial or military amplifier that can loaf at 1500w out.
Don't get me wrong, I love my old SB-220 desk top amplifier for the
casual DX boast. But my Collins 204F is the DX/Contest king for a
weekend's worth of heavy loafing at 1500w out.
I have started to put together a web page for this beauty as listed below,
it inlcudes shematics, check her out. If anyone has any good suggestions
on how to perform a relatively simple mod to put her on 160m I would be a
really happy top band ham.
