Any idea as to what issue of QST or even year? I do have all of them on 
disk except the recent ones. I don't remember one using a pair of 4CX1000s.

The 4CX-1500B would be a drop in for the 4CX1000A except for the maximum 
power capability, but running the legal limit should leave the circuit 
parameters unchanged.

I'd assume they use the coax filters on the output (series of 1/4 wave 
stubs IIRC). I've forgotten the name of the system.
