Ha ha, I knew you would shoot me down with that, Jim.
And you are right.
But of course it's not a full power amp, is it?
Neither is the Centurion -- it's 1 kW CW, 1.3kW PEP. :) 2dB more power
than the KPA500. In favor of the Centurion, it's a tube amp, so it will
likely be cleaner than the KPA, which is solid state.
I recently bought a used ACOM 1010 that K6SRZ had brought home from a
DXpedition. It's 500W CW, 800W PEP, runs on 120V or 240V, and does not
have QSK. I bought it because it's a tube amp (4CX800), so it should be
a bit cleaner than the KPA500, and that matters when we set up two
stations on the same band for California QSO Party county expeditions.
