// Until Ameritron/MFJ switches from the 3CX1200A7 to the much-improved
3CX1200Z7, this is probably not a good time to purchase one. Eimac's Z7
has been out for several years, it costs little more than an A7, so Tom
Rauch should be updating with the improved tube -- and hopefully adding:
a glitch resistor in the +HV, forced air cooling on the tank /
bandswitch, larger tank L conductors, step-start. and removing the
"neutralization". However, an obstacle appears to be technological
hubris.
cheers, Bill
