[Amps] Any comments on the Ameritron solid state amp?

[Charlie - AD5TH]

I was at Ameritron in Starkville,MS about a month ago for service on my 
AL-80B. I live about an hour drive from there. I was shown around the plant 
and handled many of the units. As I sat with the tech doing my amp there was 
an ALS-600 there for production testing with the cover(s) removed. I checked 
it over closely and as a former electronics technician I was pleased to see 
the level of workmanship that was evident.  I considered this same amp 
before I eventually bought the 80-B. While it is a "no tune" amp it is not a 
"hands free" as manual band switching is needed. I was informed that 
Ameritron is working on a "hands free" auto-tuning solid state amp and it 
will be a 1KW model.  I was told this would be in retail within a couple 
years.
