[Amps] ceramic vs glass

[Carl]

With minimal work even the Clipperton L/Clipperton QRO will run 1000-1200W 
160-10M.
The late L's and all QRO's have a built in tuned input. About $400-500 for a 
good one if you shop.

Operated sanely the AL-80A and B are also a good buy for 160-10M as is the 
SB-1000 with
 a wimpier transformer and needing a current version Ameritron plate choke. 
TheAL-80B
transformer will fit if you drill new holes and measure carefully. All are 
in the SB-220 price range.

I wouldn’t want to run an AL-1200 or 1500 over 1200W on RTTY and especially 
on the higher bands.
