[Amps] 87A vs. IC-PW1

[Keith Dutson]

Last year I decided to expand my station to multi-2.  In 1995 I ordered an
87A at the Dallas Hamcom and had to wait 6 months for delivery.  It seemed
like a good idea to get a second unit for the new configuration so I called
Alpha in July and learned that the 87A was being phased out of production in
favor of a new amp that was being developed.  They decided to build just 20
more special Omega amps to commemorate the end of the model.  I could not
resist the temptation. :-).

To each his own.  I happen to like the way mine looks and works, and I like
the fact that I have one of the 20 that were produced.

Looks good to me too. 

Any reason why only 20 were produced?
