[Amps] SB-220: 1,800 Watts Output

[Jim Barber]

Then that begs the question - Marketing claims aside, what would be an 
appropriate max output power to run with a SB1000/AL80 ?

It's a timely question for me, at least. I have a nice SB1000 that's 
been in the storage room for 5 years or so and was thinking about 
getting it out and putting a tube in it. It has 160m, which my 3KA and 
PA77's have not. It also doesn't cause gale force winds in the shack... ;-)

Thanks,
Jim, N7CXI
