I had my AL-80B serviced under warranty (soft tube) at Ameritorn ( I live 70 miles from Starkville and sat next to Rob the tech during the entire service procedure) and it checked out fine for linearity at 1KW pep. Why do you jump on this every time someone posts the rated and observed specs for the AL-80B?

You know I can cruise the freeway at 70mph in a VW or a Ferrari..both do 70 and if the limit was 55 the judge couldn't care less which vehicle I was in. Neither do your contacts.....

Pleased with my Ameritron AL-80B which easily delivers 1KW PEP.

Not linearly in the real world @3kV, despite the owner's manual claim that 500+mA is perfectly okay with a 3-500Z. However, @ 4kV it's do-able. Eimac and Amperex state 400mA max for Class AB2 linear g-g service.


Watts is watts....brand name in that regard is irrelevant.
Buy the Ameritron and stick the $2000+ savings into the antenna system...the heart of your station....
