Hi Dave,

I use an AL811H and an Acom 1000. For RTTY purposes, I'd recommend the Acom 
1000. It's a high quality amp with lots of protection built in to protect 
the tube.

On the other hand, the Ameritron AL811H is probably not what you want for 
RTTY. It works nicely for me on SSB, but is not in my view rugged enough for 
consistent high power RTTY operations.

The Acom though is built for prime time. It will put out full power all 
week-end long with no problem. It also has about three taps to match the 
line voltage. I believe there's a tap for like 100V, 110V and 120V. Tuning 
is also really easy.


Regards,


Dean - 8P6SH / 8P2k
