OTOH, I think my Al-1200 is very well built. Ameritron isn't really MFJ.
A few years ago, I requested that my name be put on the KPA800 waiting list.
I hope it's still there. It's gonna be a great DXpedition partner for my K3.

Ameritron is Ameritron.  They were bought by MFJ of course but I am not
aware of any of the amplifiers that were not designed and being built by
Ameritron before of their sale to MFJ.

C'mon Eric, tell us that behind the scenes you guys have secretly been working on the KPAs and you have 5000 of them ready to go out the door. Can I place my order now?

I thought the Ameritron Amps were basically the design of Denny Had of Dentron fame. (Also, I think, Amp Supply in addition to Ameritron.) I don't think MFJ had much to do with the designs of the tube amps.....not sure about the SS ones.

73 es Merry Christmas to all,

Dave,

You may be correct in saying "most", but I do believe that some of the
Ameritron designs were the work of Tom Rauch W8JI.
