[RTTY] Which Amp for RTTY?

[WA9ALS - John]

Ekki, which rig do you have?  If it will work automatically with the PW-1,
it's an easy decision for you!  It runs 1000W (or 750) all weekend, and the
case doesn't even feel warm to the touch!  That's right, the metal still
feels cool to the touch after a long run.

If you have several antennas, the built-in 4-position antenna switch is
wonderful.  When you add in the built-in automatic antenna tuner, the
Icom-driver and PW-1 combination becomes an all band, 1-KW transceiver.
Just click on a bandmap or type in a freq and hit your favorite buffer and
you're there with 1000W and a cool to the touch amp!  The meter/control
console is remoteable too.

I always dreamed of an 87A, but after discovering the PW-1 and it's acclaims
from friends, I could never go back to a tube amp.  Some would, for the
extra 500W to get the legal 1500 here, but not me - the automatic functions
are too nice.

Good luck!
