[Amps] AL-572

[Major Ron]

I recently purchased an AL-80B amp to replace one that had been destroyed by
lightning. I have been very happy with it. When I first rec'd the amp, it
had been riding around all day in cold weather in back of the UPS truck.
Naturally, I was eager to get it working. The screws were so tight on the
cabinet that I broke the tips off of three screwdrivers. Found out several
hours later that it was apparently because of the cold. After the cabinet
warmed up some the crews came right out. I've used it on CW, SSB & RTTY. It
has been a good performer and I can recommend it.

Ron, KA9ALC
