I used to run the Heath kit SB200 before I had to sell it for grocery money 
about a year ago. I couldn't complain about it, I don't think running it 
where I live now would have been too smart either but when I could/did run 
it at my previous QTH, I ran it for NTS nets daily and used my TW-1 to tune 
it, once I knew the tuning points though I marked them for the bands I 
frequented and verified it with the TW-1 usually but didn't need to, it fell 
right in to line the same place every time and did a great job for me. If 
I'll ever have an amp again remains to be seen but probably another of those 
would be my first choice with an amaratron AL-811H as second choice, reason 
in that order is the price. I had an amaritron AL-811H for a while too and 
liked it but had an RFI issue with a  neighbor's phone at a tough time in my 
family's lives so when I got the complaint, I got frustrated and sold it, in 
the middle of taking it out of line I found a bad connector so when I got 
the SB200 I made all new cables, ran more power and it worked fine with no 
complaints so it was obviously something stupid from day one. At least my 
prospects for getting on the air soon took a big lift over the weekend. 
We'll see how things go I'm not counting on anything but there's a very good 
prospect out there for us.
