My vote goes to the Acom 2000a. Great, reliable amplifier that will tune
automatic and easily deliver US legal power limit.
It also has a very effective protection circuitry, you would have to try
very hard to damage this piece of equipment.

> FT-2000, SB-220 (usually 800-400w output), Top Ten Automatic band

> F12 C31XR w/separate feed lines, Cushcraft A3WS w/30m, Cushcraft
> XM240, 80m dipole on top of 54' tower.
