[Amps] Which heathkit amp would you choose?

[Rex Lint]

Not sure why you're so down on 220's - mine was old when I got it and has
served for 20 years.  Same tubes, puts out solid KW, easy to tune, no mods
needed, except when I had Icom 751 I needed a relay to key it.  Works fine
with FT1000MP and K3.  I WOULD like to make it QSK, but haven't had the guts
yet.  I'd like another for SO2R!

If you decide to buy an SB-220, be warned that 3-500Zs that sit idle for
years can go bad. Do yourself a favor and Google '3-500z gettering'.

If you decide to buy either an SB-200 or SB-220, be aware that you will
likely require the Harbach soft-key mod to prevent damage to your
solid-state transceiver.
