If you are only satisfied with the VERY best, then follow this link. This
particular rig only runs 500 watts on 160, but that's because that was the
legal 160 meter limit when the transmitter was sold. I am sure it would be
easy to remove the artificial power constraint for 160 meters. Go for it!

I recently acquired a Viking Ranger in nice working condx.

I am interested in using this on AM on 160, 80, and 40 mtrs. The Ranger
runs around 40 watts Am carrier output. I would like to get an amplifier
to use with this xmtr, maybe a vintage amp. What should I be looking for?
I would like to run legal Am Limit on these 3 bands. Should I forget about
Vintage Amps and get a modern Amp? Suggestions please. Any pitfalls to
using a modern Amp?

Thanx
