[UK-CONTEST] Amplifier Advice Please.

[alannottage at aol.com]

Another thought Brian is that a lot of solid state PAs nowadays (inc. in some rigs) don't sound like they're too well biased.  A word like 'should' (on phone I mean here) comes out like it's spelt 'thould'.  Kind of similar to the effect that RF feedback creates (also more prevalent).  If you're contesting with significant audio processing, then that's probably not going to be too noticeable though.
 
Either way, you don't want charlie-four-zulu sounding like charlie-four-thulu :>) ...(which it doesn't at the moment btw!)

I would appreciate any views on Heatherlite amplifiers for serious contesting. I 
ave read reviews on e-ham which are mixed opinion but I don't recognise any of 
he reviewers as contesters. 

 was intent on importing an Ameritron ALS1300 but a local ham has offered the 
bove which would save a lot of hassle as well as expense. I could suck it and 
ee but I am no dab hand with the soldering iron and am also wondering the cost 
f replacement 3-500 bottles. This amp is pre ' Linear Amp' days and labelled as 
eatherlite.

he amp I require will need to work hard for  24/24 or 36/40 hours in an 48 hour 
vent so tendency to overheat is a no no.

he ALS1300 is a new model, does anyone know anything about it?

re there any opinions on Ameritron amplifiers?

hanks in advance for any help.
