In Europe we cruise the Autobahn at 180 mph.
Welcome to the Land of the Free.
I saw a video of a wreck that happened on the Autobahn and it was like
an airplane crashing. This was some scary shit/dreck!

I had my AL-80B serviced under warranty (soft tube) at Ameritorn ( I
live 70 miles from Starkville and sat next to Rob the tech during
the entire service procedure) and it checked out fine for linearity
at 1KW pep. Why do you jump on this every time someone posts the
rated and observed specs for the AL-80B?
You know I can cruise the freeway at 70mph in a VW or a
Ferrari..both do 70 and if the limit was 55 the judge couldn't care
less which vehicle I was in. Neither do your contacts.....

Pleased with my Ameritron AL-80B which easily delivers 1KW PEP.
Not linearly in the real world @3kV, despite the owner's manual
claim that 500+mA is perfectly okay with a 3-500Z. However, @ 4kV
it's do-able. Eimac and Amperex state 400mA max for Class AB2
linear g-g service.
Watts is watts....brand name in that regard is irrelevant.
Buy the Ameritron and stick the $2000+ savings into the antenna
system...the heart of your station....
