Hi;
Mr. Murphy has visited here also and there seems to be an undetermined 
antenna problem.  At any rate I have decided to look into down sizing 
and I have an icom ic2kl amplifier and matching at500 auto tuner that I 
haven't used in three years that need a home.  This is older equipment 
but you still put 30 wats in and get 500 out.  To my knowledge the units 
will not auto band switch with any kenwood or current icom radios. 
There is a nice easy band selector on the front of both the tuner and 
amplifier.  Also, to my knowledge the amplifier alc will not work with a 
kenwood radio.  I have simply turned the power down to 30 wats and have 
not had any problems.  The amplifier will automatically shut off if the 
drive is to high.  When it turns off there is a nice audible click so 
you know what is happening.
I do not have the original boxes or manuals but I suspect the manuals 
could be found on line.
I would like to sell the package to one lucky buyer for $1,000 plus 
shipping.
If anyone is interested or has questions feel free to contact me off list.
Thanks
