- Some years ago I had an LK-450, nice amp. I would not hesitate to convert it to 6 Meters. After all, you are stripping out all the RF parts and only using the chassis, socket and power supplies. The

- Is a 1-2dB increase worth it? The LK-450 is built rugged and is a good platform. Since Ive converted over 200 SB-220's to 6M Ive got no complaints there but its easy availability is why it is so popu

- Agreed, but what's wrong with 2 8877's? They should last forever at 1500 out in that 6 n' 2 amp in the handbook. <:-)) True, they're not cheap, but if you want the best...Tubes should always be used

- A single YC-156 if run at 6kv will make a pair of 8877`s look meek...And that`s with 100 watts drive...The 3CX3000A7 makes good suds too but requires about double the drive of the 156.Only drawbacks
