Friends!

I have a couple of days got a home-built amp
using a 3CX1000A7 - it deliver around 1200 watts
out, key down - only tested it on 80 meters.

It seems that it's built, in the seventies, with
input circuits from an SB-220. As I think that
the input impedance for a 3CX1000A7 is around
50 ohms can the use of SB-220 input circuits
be OK? I don't have the input impedance of 
a pair of 3-500Z's here and have not tested the
3CX1000A7 with an SWR-meter between the
tranceiver and the amp.

I know Rich will object to this  (by the way
your letter Thursday Rich)  but how about
not using any input circuits? 

Thanks in advance for answers and 73 de
