And unless I'm confused, the very inexpensive Unified Microsystems
band decoder will do the right thing for automatically bandswitching
the Herc II.

   About two hours ago, I posted a note about how well Ten Tec and
   Alpha amps work with the K3. A barefoot K3/10 will drive my Herc II
   to about 200 watts, and the Titans to about 400 watts. The Herc II
   is rated for 550 watts, and the Titans for full legal US
   power. I've used Alphas at N6RO, and think they drive fairly easily
   too, but don't hold me to it.
