I'm doing a poll on HF Amps
I would like to know which HF amp you are using and if it is CAT controlled.
Let me know!

I am using an Ameritron AL - 1200 that runs about 1200W max. I normally use it at 800W when I use it. My KPA500 is back in the US and will be for sale along with the rest of the K-Line.

Just built an Elecraft KPA-500. Still building the tuner. Amp replaces an AL811 so I can go power remote. Hopefully I can figure out how to get the 2 USB cables working for full computer control remote.

I am using the Elecraft KPA1500 with my Flex 6700. I use the USB CAT cable from Flex and it works great!

I had been using an Alpha 87A for the last year or so and it worked beautifully. In fact, my only minor gripe was its 3-minute warm up delay. A couple of months ago I received my PG-XL which has performed well. My only gripe with the PG-XL is the output wattage meters indicate Average, not Peak power readings in the SSB mode. Hopefully 4o3A will eventually provide a software option for this.

Using a Ten Tec Centurion and a Ten Tec Centaur. Old school. Instant on. No issues with overdrive. No cat control. Only hand control.
I had a PW1 a while back and ever since I am hesitant to go for solid state amp.
The SPE looks promising.
