I'm looking for recommendations on a full power (1.5KW output) amp
(something more than a pair of 3-500s) that covers 160-10 including the
WARC bands. Currently I'm running a Henry 2K-2 which works great. Alpha?
What model. I'm considering something used rather than new. Please hold
the opinions on 1KW vs 1.5KW.

The Ten Tec Titan 425 (the original) works quite well with a K3 (and
with every other rig I've used to drive it. I have three of them.  It is
possible to key the K3 directly and use the K3 Key out to drive the
Titan in VOX mode on both CW, SSB, and digital modes.  That's because
the K3 has a built-in delay of the TX signal that is adjustable, and
defaults to 8msec.  It runs fine in full QSK, but I don't run it that
way very often because I do a lot of contesting, and got tired of
replacing the vacuum relay every couple of years. :)

Dear OM John,

 

My recommandation is Acom 2000A (plus Acom 2000SW and Acom 2000S).

 

This is not cheap right now but in the long run it will be the least
expensive solution because you will not want anything else for the next 10
to 20 years.

 

I have "lost" money on going through the following PAs before arriving at
the "final solution": Yaesu FL-2700, Hammerlund (forgot the type), Drake
L4B, SPE Expert 1K.
