To me, the word "commodity" means it's so simple anyone can do it
well and do it
I have owned an ALS-600 for the last 5 years and have, for the most
part been quite happy with it. I did an expensive solution to the "no QSK"
problem by purchasing the Ameritron QSK-5; the pair work flawlessly
together with fast, "thump free", full QSK.
My biggest complaint with the '600 is the

I bought my 572Bs about ten years ago, 10USD for each one. After 5+
QSOs, I replaced it about 3 years ago. Not bad for 30USD investment. I was
heard the new 572B is not as good as ten
years ago, that is only because the dealer (in US?) need more cheaper 572Bs.
All the best!

Not enough "specs" for my liking, but still, rather interesting.

Sandy, did you ever take a look at what a kilowatt amp cost in 1955? It
would be more than than $3,000 when $3,000 was a year's pay for most.

That is why many hams built their own amplifiers back then - a pair of
813s could be obtained for $25 or less back then and there were surplus
transformers available at a reasonable cost. There were several "pair
of 813s in Grounded Grid" circuits published back then, followed by the

What catches my eye is that comparing the amps on page 1 and page 9, you
have to pay $2,000 more for an additional 1.7 dB of gain with the amp on
page 9.
Sure. you have to know how to adjust an amp and actually tune the one on
page 1 whereas the one on page 9 is "no tuning" (assuming the antenna i
