Phil,

I did buy the  ALS1300 and it does come with a very well built 12 pound 
switching power supply.  The power supply is wired for a 220 volt line but 
Ameritron says you can run it on 110.  The supply is very clean and I 
haven't found a birdy coming out of it yet.  I paid $2395 for the amp and 
supply and I am very happy with its performance.  20 wats drive gives me 
over 500 watts out.  40 watts drive gives me over 1000 watts out.  The 
supply draws so much startup current that it uses a step start circuit which 
starts each half of the supply at different times.  I did not buy the auto 
band switching module as I use an external tuner and I don't mind twisting 
knobs.

It reads to be a mighty fine solid state amp for 1200 PEP output and all the
other auto band switching features and the like.  The website I first read
showed it for 2400 dollars so they might as well sell it for 3 grand and
include the power supply.  It, too, sounds like it is well made other than
it is a switching network supply.
