    It might be easier if you found an amplifier like the Hardrock 50. 3 to 4 watts out of the 1500 will drive the Hardrock 50 to 50 or 60 watts. Modifying the DX-60 would require a lot of work. Plus, you would need to retune the finals if you change frequency very much.

    And finally, the DX-60 does not cover 60,30,17 or 12 meters. Personally, I think it would be cheaper to buy or build a solid state amplifier.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
