Don't forget the 5000 series. I run mine class A when driving the amp
which is most of the time when chasing DX.
Complete dual receivers so I usually monitor 6 while chasing DX on the
other bands.

The latter three also have a bias adjustment on the front panel to
slide Class A downward away from pure Class A in SSB or CW modes. I
burned up a Mark V by running it full Class A (only choice on that rig)
and at about 40 watts... great techs tried to fix it and it blew two
more sets of finals before I lost track of it. Morale, do not run a
Mark V in Class A. Today, I own K3f, FT-9000d, and IC-7800, as well as
KWM-2A, and several other rigs. Very fun to compare them.GL 73
