I did reviews on both the Expert 1K-FA and Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5Kfx for CQ
Magazine. These reviews are also on my website at www.ad5x.com. These are
both very nice amps. The THP is $1K cheaper than the Expert, but the Expert
has an internal tuner (3:1 SWR max) and a 4-port antenna switch. But my
favorite remains my Ameritron ALS-600 with an MFJ-998 auto-tuner (also have
a review of these on my website). The ALS-600 is inexpensive, lightweight
and rugged (I've played it into bad loads more times than I can think of and
it keeps on protecting itself). Of course, it lacks features and the power
is 2dB down from the THP and Expert amps (but the price is 3-5 dB down!!).
The ALS-600 amps shipping now have the capability for transceiver
band-following using the optional ARI-500 (info is not on the Ameritron
website yet).
Anyway, my opinion - though I am biased based on the cost. I'm putting
money into a K3!!
