Yep, I run the Emtron DX-2 here. I'm extremely happy with it. It's built 
big time heavy duty. It is shipped with transformer mounted. You can 
actually lift the thing and carry it around with the cover off and it wont 
bend and twist all over the place. The cover is just that and not part of 
the mechanical structure. Workmanship throughout the whole machine is just 
superb.

My amp is 2.5 years old. The design and specifications have been 
considerably improved since then. I will hopefully get to play with the 
later models on my next work trip to Sydney in a couple of months.

I remember a couple of years back, there was a problem with FCC compliance 
or similar. I think that the situation has been resolved but don't know for 
sure.

I also use one of their HF multiband yagis. Mine is a 3 element tribander 
with an extra rotary dipole for 12, 17 and 30m on the same boom. It works 
good and was well priced. Quality of manufacture is also very good.

I have no connection with Emtron or Emtronics. I'm just happy to recommend 
things that I have had good experience with.
