Ha, did you ever find an amp?

For what? I can't remember.

Vinnie S.

That ancient Galaxy? That was actually for a ham friend. I was acting like it
was for me, because I would have purchased it for him. He didn't have internet
access or ebay account, or something like that. He ended up getting Ameritron
AL-80A. Seems this is a good amp. But I know little about HF ham amps. So I
inquired about it.

Don't know anything about it. The reason I had inquired about that Galaxy, was
because the solid state amps were in the neighborhood of $1,000-3,000. So when I
inquired about the Galaxy, it was about $200. It took off from there. Luckily,
many hams came posted to stay away from that amp. They said there were cheaper
alternatives that were better.

I think that Ameriton was a single tube radio. Highly recommended by hams.

As far as the Dentron, I use this site on eham:

There are Hams indivdual reviews, and I find very useful.

Yea that's a good review sight I've read up on a few things on there over
the years. I'm not in the market, still have the 30 L1 that I hardly use
much anymore. I also have a kenrich 515 that I think is a similar
configuration to that galaxy you were speaking of. It's been mothballed for
years along with the browning mark IV, it has the veneer on it to resemble
the browning.

Yeah, alot of the hams really pushed me away from that Galaxy amp. And it was a
Ham amp, since it covered 10-80.

Check this out on the Browning:

Wonder how many guys are still servicing those radios? I know the IV has a
bad reputation compared to the III.
