[Amps] 3CX1000A7

[Carl]

The type of tube has no bearing on the harmonics and almost nobody builds PP 
these days unless its SS.

Im sure any well designed Pi or Pi-L and anything else that is self 
contained to help suppress harmonics would meet specs. Its expensive to get 
certification and maybe K1FO doesnt want to go thru that so lists as 
"export" .....that doesnt mean anyone in the USA cant get one.

I havent read the rules recently so maybe with the 10M ban lifted other 
specs were relaxed??
