I seriously doubt that the MLA2500 power supply is up to the task of 
feeding a PAIR of 3cx800's.  A single 3cx800 would be more resonable. 
 Also, the output tank on the MLA2500 would need redesign and 
rebuilding (not a bad idea, anyhow!)  The muffin fan might be able to 
keep the single tube cool enough... it works for a single 4cx800a... 
see QST, May '96.
