I just picked up a Ameritron AL-80b amplifier today. It does not have a marking for 10 meters what can I do to use it on 10 meters.Thanks

AUX is 10m if enabled.

Behind the band selector knob on the inside of the front panel is an enclosure under an inch thick. It contains the tuned-input circuit for each band. A green wire snakes out from a hole in the compartment's side, soldered to a ground lug. Cutting this wire will activate the 10-meter input circuit and make the "blank" band work.

I always thought you had to buy a ten meter board/module or something to get ameritrons online on 10/11. Is that just certain models?

Their solid-state amplifiers are like that, but not the tube type models.
