[CQ-Contest] Sell My Acom for a Tokyo?

[Richard Zalewski]

Just a little more on the dilemma.

I will not be using a tuner except on 80 and 160 as I use a SteppIR.  Since
the SteppIR has various band segments within a band going from one end to
another should be no problem.  How the HC1.5KAT would handle my 160-80
inverted vee is another question.

My Acom is working fine 100% but sometimes I just get the idea to try
something new.  I was not entirely satisfied with my PW1 but it probably did
as advertised.  I just don't like amps with so much protection circuitry
that you are forever doing resets.  That was some of my experience with the
PW1 but not at all with the Acom.  I know we are dealing with the
possibility of two different levels of output when comparing the THP and the
Acom but I can not run as much as the Acom is capable of putting out when
anyone is home in the neighborhood.

Oh yes, I DO NOT have unlimited radio means.  So I am not looking just to
generate sales taxes and revenue for various entities.

Back now to reviewing constructive comments.
