I vote for ICE (1-800-ICE-COMM). I've used the Bencher before and it gets
quite warm on 10 and 15 at legal power. I bought a couple of the larger ICE
units (Model 422) which are rated at 12kwPEP/6kwDC and they don't get warm
on any band. They have withstood arcing antennas, high SWRs and operator
mistakes. Seems like a good investment for a few dollars more than the
Bencher YA-1.
BTW, many moons ago I blew up a TV-3300LP just like NA5TR - mine occurred at
400W into a 2:1 SWR on 15 meters.
