[Amps] SB-200 on Six Meters

[Carl]

Strange, my conversion ratio is about 4:1 in favor of the SB-200.

With the SB-220 cost rapidly escalating many cant justify the cost for 
about 2 dB more; unless they already own one.

This week started off with an Alpha 76PA; they are increasing in 
conversion popularity as the resale value of all their 8874 amps 
plummets.

Even the MLA-2500 remains popular.

Since my conversions require that the amp only be tuned up once into any 
particular antenna and dont get the use of an HF version the tubes get a 
new lease on life.
