Well I just can't pass this equipment up!!

[CW Morse]

I found an Ameritron AL-811 amplifier for $350. I am not keen on amps as 100 watts HF is plenty to work the world, but I

KNOW the original owner personally and this thing is mint. Not a scratch; looks brand new. Shines like a new penny!

So I think I will "bite". I hate to see good equipment go to waste<img src=http://users.joplin.com/dutch64804/posticon24.gif ALT=":lmao"> . I don't need it, but, hey, you only live once!

The only thing I am afraid of is it might get into my Satellite

dish and tear up something. Dish Network won't cover it if I blow up my receiver with 600 watts! <img src=http://users.joplin.com/dutch64804/donotknow.gif ALT=":donotknow">

Well a blown LNB or RX could be caused by almost anything including faulty parts.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=""> <img src=http://users.joplin.com/dutch64804/posticon60.gif ALT=":60">

I have an Ameritron AL-800H. I have DirecTV, and my inverted V dipole is right over the dish. Never had one problem. The DirecTV stuff is all a digital feed, so you probably won't hurt anything. I found most of my TVI was coming into the TV through the power, with some on the shield of the coax. Took care of that and the TV is happy. DirecTV receiver or LNB's never even blink. I am able to reboot the DSL modem while on 75 meter's though <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">
