[Yaesu] Opinions wanted on Yaesu Amp FL 7000.

[Ron Burns]

I have had a FL-7000 for over 10 years. 
It is a high quality, sophisticated piece of gear.
While it was sold as a 500 watt amp it will put out 600 watts; however I
have not asked for more than 500 watts from the amp (most of the time
between 450 - 500 watts).
It is particularly handy to use with Yaesu transceivers (I've used a FT-890
and a FT-1000D).
It automatically switches bands, tracking with the transceiver.
The automatic antenna tuner while having good range is aggravatingly slow.
It allows manual fine tuning of the automatic settings (a nice feature),
also, the tuner can be bypassed when using resonant antennas or allowing an
outboard tuner to be put in line. 
It is quiet, no relay noise, no fan noise, Quiet.
If you want mine you'll have to wait for the estate sale.
73,
