In my experience, loafing along at full power RTTY:
My current amp - Acom 2000A. The best, hi-tech amp in
existence. It's so smart with protection and monitoring, you can't
break it if you try. Auto-tune, all automatic. No noise - you can put
the amp in another room, and just have the control panel in the
shack. Details at www.hfpower.com. Tubes (2 - 4CX800A) relatively
cheap. Only con - it's price.
My previous amp - Alpha 77Dx (one tube) - very heavy duty. Only
disadvantage is manual tune, if you like jumping bands. Tube
(8877) a bit pricey.
