Remember, the 3K-A was designed as a commercial/government use amp. It has no
standby switch, and is built pretty stout (weighs nearly 200lbs.). I'm about
to take mine down to give it a good cleaning, add 160m to it, and add some
relays so I can remotely control the fils, blower, and put it in standby when
not needed. I've seen RFP 3-500ZGs do nearly 2500W out in another Henry amp
that was modified -- I'm sure it was pretty dirty at those levels, but hey, who
cares during a contest, right??
And like I said before, if you think 3-500s aren't good for 1kW PEP, tell
Ameritron...

Some of the older Henry 3k amps had current limiting in the psu negative and
required 100+ watts drive for just 1200 or so output (Easily disabled).2K
output(Very possible) from a Henry equipped with 3-500z tubes seems a bit
excessive to me,especially if your`e concerned about keeping neighbors and
fellow hams happy..Jim.
