I know this seems to be a weird question, but I have the subject amps that I
can use with my '7800, and I think one of them needs to go because I can really
only use one at a time. There are lots of contesters on this list with some
serious experience, so I figured I might bounce this off of you. You might even
disagree with my assessment:
PW1 Advantages
It has an antenna tuner (although what is the point of pumping a bunch of power
into your crummy 4:1 VSWR system?)
It has a built-in antenna switch
It can be connected to two radios
It can be remoted
It is more or less "instant on"
87A Advantages
It is prettier
It is quieter (fan noise-wise)
It puts out more power
Nobody says "Click. I just turned on the Icom"
I understand that lots of this is personal preference but I will take others'
opinions willingly! (BTW, don't tell me to just by another tranceiver and keep
both because I have already accomplished that - and that runs with a 91B that I
love)
