Thank you Bob, I did not like the reports I got from the Centurion driven by
the Johnson Viking.
I got better reports with the Johnson with the 60 watt carrier, I did not
calculate AM or had a readout on the % modulation. I still have the Johnson
and will keep it since when I put it on it sounds good and stays on frequency
The Centurion is the older model and matched the Ten Tec Paragon which I sold
after getting the 565 Orion.
It has is stock other than the fan upgrade and speed control.
I can no longer pick up the amplifier and put it in a car,. the other one is
connected to the Ten Tec 566.
$1200.00 USA Dollars no Pay-Pal or Bit Coins.
