Looks like a drift o matic with all that heat on the bottom......

Yes sir, my suspicion as well and for 8 huns then some. For that money I can buy a nice big amplifier to go behind one of the new gen anytones.

I'm gonna stick with my dinosaur like equipment that works just fine. 35 year old Pluto and a TWO THIRDS KILLOWATT 667V. I might kick the sweet sixteen on every now and then for giggles.

The 69ffb4 was pretty stable on ssb even with the 500watts of heat on the bottom. My Galaxy 95t is also very stable with 150 watts heat on the bottom.
I have ran an unstable 95t2 that was putting out close to 250 and it drifted like a sailboat and soon found a home with a lover of big watts. The cooling capacity on these units seems to line up with what the box says.
All my local ssb operators talk on newer computer controled ham rigs except for 1 that runs a drifty stryker 955 that he has to reset once a week to get the tx and rx to line up, so that is my reference for rag chewing stability.

You get the constant 6th digit flicker for free with this one!

Can the coils be stretched and it hit 950 watts?

my 69vhp has no flicker, more stable than one of my locals 955 version1. The 6900xxx series boards are as stable as any old school uniden when working properly.
The digital radios don't tell on themselves when they drift .
