Excellent Amp 
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
In my 44 years of hamming, I've owned over a half dozen differently manufactured amps from Collins to Yaesu. I have not owned an Alpha but I've operated them (they are excellent).
I purchased the Acom 2000A about one month ago and couldn't be happier. The workmanship is a piece of art. Installing the power xformer is straight forward and takes about 1/2 an hour.
20-30 Watts from my Icom 7600 drives the amp to 1K to 1.2K with ease. I know it will put out the 1500 watt legal limit but I only want to loaf at 1K. The 7600 and Acom amp are my new retirement setup. I researched rigs and ampls for a number of months before I purchased. I looked for reliability and ease of operation in both items. I hope these two items will out live me as when I retire, I will not have the financial means to upgrade or repair.
Am I happy? Yup! Did I purchase the absolute top of the line? No. I purchased what would satisfy my needs and my bank account.
