[ICOM] IC-4KL

[martyjp]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone out there have an Icom 4KL ? I am curious if it is a good
amplifier, and how reliable is it ? Adam told me that is has Bi-polar
junction transistors as opposed to Mosfets. I haven't had any experience
with BPJ transistors, but I have with Mosfets. Besides the Icom 756 Pro II
that I have, I also have a Ten-Tec Orion which I would like to control it.
Paul at Ten-tec seemed very positive in the fact that I can control it. Are
BPJ's reliable ? I would just be purchasing this 4KL, sight unseen, from
another ham. He claims that everything is perfect, and in 30 years of ham
radio I haven't been burnt yet. Can anyone help me ? Thanks and perhaps I
should look at the VL-1000, but I prefer Icom. 

Kind regards to all,]
Marty, W3QK
