OK. I was kinda wondering since I'm looking or a new amp since just
selling my AL-811H. I'm looking for one that can run RTTY for more than
10 seconds without cooking the tube(s). But I probably won't buy a
legal limit amp since that would mean having to buy an antenna that can
handle continuous duty at 1.5 KW. I asked Mosley about my TA33SR and
they said that I'd melt the traps running continuous duty (i.e. RTTY) at
power levels over 600 Watts. Looks like an AL-80B is worth considering.
Do you have the GOP option?
