[AMPS] Dentron GLA-1000x update

[km1h @ juno.com]

Skip, also consider including the Amp Supply LA-1000 and the Ameritron
AL-84 in your conversion writeup. All three amps are virtual clones and
it may improve your chances of  an article acceptance. 

Tnx for info on the EL-509. Who is carrying them?  Might keep a lot of
CBers happy also!
