Regarding amps, I think many Hams forgot what I learned way back in
General class school. It takes Approx a 4X power change to move the
S-meter 1 "S" unit. So if you have say, a Centurion at 1300
watts, you would have to go to say 2600 watts for 1/2 "S" unit
increase (ILLEGAL) and 5200 watts
for a full "S" unit, (WAY ILLEGAL). Unless your a die hard contester
straining for that last contact to win
or looking for that last 3-4 hard to reach countries for DXCC, IMHO,
most hams dont need another BIG
amp. I am Hearing a lot of older ragchewing hams who are getting tired
of loading and tuning every time they change frequencies/bands and all
they want is an extra 500-750 watts or so to ragchew under poor band
conditions. I can see the need for a Titan III for 100% duty cycle
modes, but there
is only 1 american manufacturer making a 600 watt SS amp at this time
with mixed reviews. I realy think a Herc III similar to the Herc II
would fill the bill nicely, and Affordably.
