The Elecraft KPA500 is very accessible-  turn it on and go!
If it goes into fault condition though, a light probe is useful to determine
if the fault light has gone on

Hi Richard,

I too am interested in the Ameritron solid state amps, from an accessibility
viewpoint.  One of these days I'll put something together for the Active
Elements site <smile>.  Meantime, AD5X has some superb reviews at:

http://www.ad5x.com/presentations.htm

He looks at both the older and new ALS-600 which can be fitted with an auto
band changer, and he writes on the ALS-1300 too.

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

Hi;
Thanks for the amplifier info.  I guess I should be happy there are no t 
v i complaints.  Are there two different versions with two different 
power supplies?  If one has a switching supply wonder if there are any 
unwanted side effects?
On an unrelated note, I am the happy owner of a mj88 which is kenwoods 
microphone cable adaptor for the ts480.  I've gotten some conflicting 
info as to whether I have to rewire the thing?  Is it usable as is?
Thanks and remember be nice to one another.
