DX-100 or Apache? by Brian Burns
Hello All, I'm looking for an AM/CW rig in the 100 watt class, and may have a choice between a Heath DX-100 and a Heath Apache. In looking at the specs I could find on the two, the Apache looks like the better choice. What do you think? Cheers, Brian Ex: W5BRO, K6UCD

collins 30L-1 by Antonio I0JX
That sounds horrible! The wonderful thing about those amps is that there are enormous safety margins on everything and they are just solidly over-engineered. Why would anyone want to wreck that for the sake of less than one S-unit? --scott Scott, the Collins 30L-1 has safety margins on...
