Steve, the designation of ALS1306 confirms that the amp covers six meters.
The ALS1300 remains as a current as I understand it.  I believe that you
understand the difference correctly.  I will be following my friend Steve's
experiences with his new amp.  As for my good friend Stan, he loves his pair
of SPE 2KFA's, but has offered to sell me one of them which he has never put
in service.  This particular unit has the vacuum relay option  to facilitate
QSK.  I may well take him up on his offer.  Since the 2KFA also covers six
meters, I could sell my Commander six meter amp, and use the proceeds toward
the purchase of the SPE.

My understanding is that the 1306 covers 6 meters and has auto band 
switching, which was optional for the original.  I think also some other 
internal changes, including  some improvement on the T/R relays.
