[Elecraft] FW: [cwops] merger of Alpha and Ten Tec

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

You are partly correct.
Elecraft did prototype both an 800 watt amp and a 1500 watt amp long ago.
They were both all solid state - no tubes involved.
The 1500 watt version used two of the power bricks of the 800 watt unit.

73,
