>OK ... I looked at my Varian catalog and the 103 Amps was for the "J"

?  Due to its 7" cooler, the blower requirements for the 8171 in amateur 
service are virtually  a piece of cake.   The chassis space is the same 
as for a 4-1000A/8166.

?  As you like it.  .  With 2.5kVDC, c. 1.5kW.  .  The FT-1000 provides 
plenty of grid-drive.
