[RTTY] RTTY Capable Amp

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I'm with Dave & Marty.  I own two AL-80B amplifiers and run both of them on
120VAC with 500 watts.  I always try to keep my grid at 100 ma or less.  I have
cranked them to 700 watts a couple of times during pileups but not often.  I'm
happy to say I've not had any failures with them so far.  The price is right on
this amp.

One day I will run 220VAC into the shack to power these amps but I've not had
reason to so far.

73, Don

I agree with Marty. I have run an AL-80A at 400 watts on RTTY for a day or more
at a time and never had any problems.
