That's a very nice amp, Ron, and Bill's a great guy -- we've been
friends for more than 30 years. I'd grab it! I bought his Titan, and it
has served me well. And a used Titan is the other amp I would
recommend. Expect to pay something like $1,500 for one in great shape
with good tubes.

Thanks, but it's not going to be THAT big a bonus!
I should have been clearer, sorry. I'm looking in the used market.
Much as I like the KPA500 (I've seen it at a friend's QTH) it's just
not in my budget this year.

Got called into the CFO's office yesterday (don't worry, it was good
news). We (the company's the IT department) were all informed that
we're all receiving a fairly decent bonus along with our regular pay
at the end of the month. So I guess we did something right!
So once the money is in hand, or at least in the bank... I'm going to
be in the market for an HF amp. For a variety of reasons, something
in the 400 - 600 W output range, 160 - 10. (Much as I'd love a 2 KW
class amp, the bonus won't be THAT much, especially after taxes, and
I DO have to spend a little bit of it on the XYL -- dinner, movie,
something nice)
Obviously, or maybe not so obviously, the amp would have to play nice
with both an Omni VI+ and an Omni VII, (Of COURSE I'd love a Ten Tec
amp to go with them, but my luck never seems to work out that well!)
If anyone on the list is either in the process of selling an amp in
this category, or knows of someone who is, please email me directly
OFF LIST at w3wn at arrl dot org.
Again, there's no immediate rush, as I won't have the shekels for
about 2 weeks from today. But that gives a little time to make any
appropriate arrangements and such.
Thanks for your time reading this, and my apologies again for going
slightly OT
73, ron w3wn
