Been reading the various threads about using these amps on AM. Well, if i am driving one of these units with 20 watts on AM, what can I expect in terms of tube life and overall performance (11 meter plus 160m-10m)?
Also, driving one of these with 80 watts on SSB, what might I expect there?
And as a newbie here, please explain some things about dead key and swing. I haven't a great idea of what all that means.
Other than that, the only other question I have is... if you wouldn't necessarily buy an Ameritron 811H for AM/SSB operation, what could you suggest in its place?
Any experiences with the 811H amps (and possible substitutions) are most welcome!
My budget is $1k (gotta love them credit cards), and anything capable of 11 meter operation is a must (everything else is an option).
Many Thanks!!!
