::Hmph. No sense of humor. When I had the dual 4CX1500 amp on the
air back in the late 1970's it picked up 17dB over a 100W exciter and people
would ask about that sometimes. I always attributed it to propagation
changes.

::It sure can. I know, I've owned 3K-A's and several other Henry
amps. Got tired of all the knob cranking (band switching from 160 to 10 can
be painful, I think it might cause arthritis in those not already having
symptoms). But I still miss the old 4K Ultra, it was a very neat amp.
Although even the 4K Ultra, with three huge panel meters sitting atop its
console, didn't have a "relative output power" indicator of any type.
Typical Henry.
