Need some input on AMPs

[K5UJ]

whatever amp you get for AM look at the loading padder caps.  I am now learning the hard way that cheapie disc ceramics are no good for AM even if they are rated for 2 or 3 KV, they don't like the duty cycle current.   There are a lot of little bugaboos in ssb amps when used on AM but the L4 series with the big separate supply and chimney cooling addresses two of them.

thanks folks, lots of good info given, I am looking hard at the Gonset. As mentioned is does has a 360deg sine wave load. The power supply has been reworked, so relible supply. It fits where I need it to and I can pick it up at a hamfest. What's not to like...
