[1000mp] Linear Amplifier Recommendations for Use with FT1000 Mark V

[richard]

I will add this only because it has been left out . . the FL 2100B . . =
Yaesu even includes wiring instructions to connect it to the Mark V.  =
The 572B's are available from Taylor.  My originals are still fine, but =
I purchased a new set as insurance against a sparcity in the future.  =
The amplifier works fine, but I am in agreement with an earlier poster . =
. except that he suggested spending the money on the XYL. =20

Depending on which bands would be the bands of choice, the old tri-band =
beam gets you more punch. =20

Just another opinion . . and you know about those. =20

I have a Mark V and am still in wonderment.  I will put one of the Force =
12 antennas on the other end of the coax in the next month or two.

  This has nothing to do with the 120V/240V discussion.

  I think that using the lower Vin tap on the Ameritron amplifiers'
  transformer will cause the filament voltage to rise to life =
threatening (to
  the expensive 3CX1200's life, that is...) values.
