RF Concepts Alpha 8410 Users?

[John Lawrence]

 Are there any Elecraft folks who also have an Alpha 8410 amplifier?  I'm trying to find you.

I've had mine for three months and use it daily with under 50 watts to get the full 1500 output.  It's very linear
and can handle the full duty cycle found with PSK 31 or RTTY.  

73

John, I had an 8410 for a year with my K3 but sold it when I found I was
using my KPA500 95% of the time. I used 40 watts in for 1500 out of the
8410 which is a very nice linear but needs a 3 minute warmup. I have
another high power instant on amp I can use when needed. I never did see
the grid current light go on with even 50 watts on the 8410. Tank quality.
