Another good choice for a medium-power 6M solid-state amp is the TE Systems
0552G, made in USA, a very robust unit that will put out 400W (1:15) into a 50
ohm load. It runs cool without a fan at CW/SSB duty cycles, and will handle
key-down carrier modes with the addition of a fan on top of the heatsink. Love
mine...
For those with no familiarity with TE Systems, I gather that they do a lot of
military contracts and do the ham stuff as kind of a sideline. (Somebody
correct me if I'm wrong.) They don't advertise, they have no website, and
vendors purporting to be distributors for them typically have no actual stock,
so you might as well order direct from TE. Their phone number is (310)
478.0591.
The chances of finding a used for sale on the ham market are slim. People tend
not to sell them once they get them. I looked for a used one for a month
before giving up and ordering a new one.
A good power supply for it is the Astron RS-70M, a big linear job that just
sits there and works. A well-designed and filtered switcher would work fine,
too -- I just have a love of the good old "big iron" types. :-)

Does anyone know if the two linear amplifiers that were shown on the
Dayton pictures will cover six meters??
I hope so as I was thinking of purchasing a Tokyo Hy-Power next year
but would rather stay with a good ole U S of A company since the
boyz at Elecraft know what they are doing for sure ! !
