[Amps] Ameritron AL-82 Questions

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The one reported issue with all of the Ameritron amps is 
some concern with the output Circuit and RTTY.  There have 
been a few reports about the 80 meter coil overheating and 
deforming when run at full power RTTY.   On the other hand, 
1500 Watts RTTY is a rather serious torture test for any 
amplifier.
