One door closes, another opens .... With the demise of the VL-2000, another Amp has appeared (I think it was shown at Dayton and drew quite a crowd). http://www.commamps.com/amateur_radio/amateur.htm Confirmed with the company, it will do 1,500 Watts Out on RTTY 24/7/365. It is now awaiting FCC approval ... get in line !! 73, Dick, W1KSZ
