Ameritron Al-1200 works fine with three exceptions.
Built-in RF Output meter gives relative indication for tuning, but
does not give accurate output power.
SSB Bias doesn't work. I used CW position for SSB and couldn't tell
any difference in operation.
Fan is very loud.
Includes rear-panel self-shorting miniature phone jack for full-QSK
bias switching. With no plug in the jack, AL-1200 functions normally.
For extra $75, I will include full-QSK bias-switching relay box and
vacuum-relay antenna TR box. For full QSK, you need QSK line from
your transceiver and an RX antenna input on your transceiver. (Or
you can easily add a low-cost reed-relay for RX antenna
switching.) The two boxes provide smooth-as-silk full QSK. The
bias-switching box has the added advantage of reducing amplifier heat.

$750 for the amplifier. You pick up in Mammoth Lakes (a great place
to visit) or I bring to 13 December NCCC Holiday Dinner.
Thirty-day money back if you're not happy. You're responsible for
getting amplifier back to me.
