[Amps] Need Info on Dentron 2000L 8877

[Dudley Hurry]

Dave,

I owned one of the DTR2000L amps.  The powersupply was weak, but be careful 
beefing up the powersupply.   Once the powersupply is up to the task of the 
8877, there is not enough air being blown through the tube and over the 
band switch and coil to keep from overheating.  Also the plate choke should 
be replaced if you plan to use 17 meters, RF Products has a plate choke 
works great.   But remember when that amp was designed 1K INPUT was the 
regulation, so if you are looking to get to legal limit, replace the fan 
with a blower.

Good luck and 73,
Dudley
