Interesting, both of the above-referenced amplifiers are due out this summer. Both are solid-state from first class manufacturers and therefore we can expect very reliable units. Both designed to wor
We live in very exciting times and I predict that for serious stations, tube amps will soon be a thing of the past. IMD of the Elecraft amp should be very good. It uses two devices instead of one. Wi
SO2R amp? What does it mean? My Quadra with smart swith is so2r amp too. Matt SQ7D/SN7D _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.
It means you can connect 2 radios to one amp and do SO2R without a 2nd amp N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesti
You can do SO2R with any auto-tune amp using an Acom Commutator. 73, Gerry W1VE _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesti

Can auto tune amps tune fast enough between band A and B? My experience with Acom 2000 is that while auto tuning is fast, it is not fast enough to be alternating CQ on two different bands. On the oth
The Acom 2000a needs a brief dit to adjust itself. This is a fantastic amplifier and it adjusts very quickly however I would not operate SO2R alternating CQs between two radios with just a single 200
I have only connected a relay wire and coax to the Acom 2000A however I believe that CAT control is possible for a single radio. Connecting two radios and having the amp tune to the TX radio would pr
Does it have the ability to adjust itself via CAT? That is recommended for solid state amps, especially in SO2R configuration. N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
This is why I don't believe that a single auto tune tube amp by itself can be used for SO2R. Even 2 seconds of tuning is too long. Solid state is just a quick band change, instantaneous. Still, some
Hi Ria and group, Yes it can do that. With the new RCU it has that feature with a builtin port on the rcu. It works on the old rcu with a cable (DB9 as I recall but only 3 wires are used) and can tra
