>I just can't get my head around Ameritron (Mighty Fine Junk) by any other >name as builders of "quality" equipment. OTOH, I think my Al-1200 is very well built. Ameritron isn't really MFJ. A few years ago, I requested that my name be put on the KPA800 waiting list. I hope it's still there. It's gonna be a great DXpedition partner for my K3. VE7XF
