Hi Phil,
I've owned several HF amps but I'm currently running an MFJ ALS600 solid
state amp that runs 600 watts output. As with other MFJ stuff that I have
purchased, I had to do a little tweaking to get the unit perking along like
it should, but since I did that, no problems at all. I get between 550 and
600 watts out and have never had a distortion complaint. The only thing
that you have to keep in mind is that you need either a flat antenna or an
antenna tuner that can let the amp see a low SWR or your power will fall way
back, the amp will kick out, or you'll blow the final transistors.
Personally, I use a noise bridge to pre tune my antenna and I've had no
problem with power drop off or the amp kicking out. I would never go back
to tube amps, they are just too inefficient for me.

Anybody using a solid state amp on here? Have thought about them for years
and if I ever run QRO again, I'm just going to a solid state jobby.
