I guess I should have changed the subject line..... I wonder if the
original Herc running on 48 V has better IMD, more output, or anything
else good about it to offset the fact that you can't run it on 12 VDC?

Herc II runs on 12 vdc and uses relays to change bands. Both had factory
power supplies but obviously you could run the Herc II on an 80 amp 12 vdc
supply while on the old Herc you were confined to the factory 48v supply.
The fan on the Herc sounded like an F115 while the fan on the Herc II was
almost silent. HercII is very nice piece of gear.
