DIFFERINCE IN THE AMERITRON 80A AND 80B
 

Can anyone tell me what the difference in these two amps are? Thanks for your
time.

The biggest difference is that the AL80B has some circuitry that biases the
tube off during periods when there is no drive. That means a lot less heat
out of the thing in standby. I've had both and I'd buy the AL80A just
because it has nicer meters and you can get a better price on one!

Just from off the air conversations but a lead for you.
The B model has "Dynamic ALC doubles average SSB power
The AL-80B's exclusive Dynamic ALC gives you high-level low-distortion RF
processing."
I don't believe the A model had this.
Heard some folks modified the A model to get rid of this feature as they had
problems with it.

The B manual is on line at URL:
