[Amps] The cost of amplifiers, radios

[Richard Solomon]

1,300 Watts out at ~ 65% efficiency
equates to 2,000 Watts input.

Better save your nickels for that new
power xfmr you will soon need !!

I have heard these tales before of
folks claiming upwards of 1,500 Watts
out on an SB-220.

I file them away along with the photo's
I took of the Loch Ness Monster.
