Good job Roger,
Yep, I could not remember correctly, strangely enuf.
I like my DTR-2000 Dentron but it is just what
Dentron wanted to put out, hi power amps for
small money (relatively). Everything abt it is
cheap except the tube which is Eimac but
IT BLOWS RF AND GETS OUT LIKE A BANDIT.
Remember the old amp named "Bandit" ?
Who made it?
My amp line up is
Alpha 87a updated, sick
Alpha 76 PAC running great
Ten Tec Titan dead.
Dentron DTR-2000 still working
ICOM IC-2KL, working, and have 3.
I am in market for 3 of the 8874.
At one time I also had, Henry 2k floor model, NCL-2000, TL-922, Heath SB-220
and SB-
230, MLA-2500B, and Alpha 76PA, but never a 30L-1. TEST: What is difference
between
Alpha 76A, 76PA, and 76PAC?????????????? Oh, radios!!!! 73,
