- I have a Commander HF-2500 Magnum, with a pair of 3CPX800's. Great amp. It has one quirk, and only on 15 meters. If the amp has been dormant for a while, the output power is initially low: about 1100

- I have noticed that many amplifiers are designed to be most efficient _NOT_ at room temperatures, but a bit above room temp. A good compromise in design. I have noticed this is both tube and solid st

- Inductor in the output side warming up slightly and shifting value as it changes size? Is the output tuning sharp? Can you tweak the output tune/load so it gives full output immediately (and then may

- Im not aware of any vacuum tube RF power amplifiers that are sensitive to room temperature changes. However, if fixed load capacitors heat up under full RF power, a frequent occurrence, that can affe
