[Amps] Which heathkit amp would you choose?

[WA3GIN]

fYeah Buddy,

If folks would read about the theory and operation of RF amplifier tubes the 
problem wouldn't be a surprise nor incorrectly attributed to a specific 
brand of amplifier. Check out the reading materials: below

http://www.cpii.com/docs/related/22/C&F1Web.pdf  (highly technical but good 
reading)

www.arrl-sc.org/Tech%20Presentations/Linear%20Amplifiers.pp  ( for the plug 
& play operator; they list SB-220 as 'popular')

http://www.kk5dr.com/Tubes.html  (great reading)


Use it or lose it applies to lots of man made appliances but certainly RF 
amplifier tubes ;-)

Enjoy,
dave
