Take a look at the Acom. I have the 2000A and run RTTY full power in
contests. My coax gets warmer than the amp :.) It uses the Svetlana
4CX800A tubes, which are reliable, readily available and inexpensive.
If you don't want to spend the big bucks for autotune, etc. look at
the 1000.

Thanks. First time I have heard about Acom. It looks like they make very
high quality amps (like the Aplhas).

I have aasked for prices since there doesn't seem to be any on the Acom web
site.

I noticed the Alpha 99 also uses the 4CX800A tubes.
Which tubes are better -- the 3X1200A7 or the 4CX800A?
