Quality and Value Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is a large, but very high quality amplifier. It works very well with my Orion, and the QSK is superb. The two pieces of gear are by far the best I've ever owned and operated in 32 years of "hamming".

Great Amplifier Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is my 12th HF amplifier, and quite possibly my last. It is by far the best I have ever owned. This is one rugged legal limit amplifier!

HEFTY, WITH PERFORMANCE TO MATCH Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
My Titan III has been on line since early September with no problems but very impressive performance. The butter smooth tuning and excellent repeatability means once the amp is warmed up and on standby I can tune "by the book" and call the DX in seconds instead of a minute or more. The sheet metal work is impressive and the general fit and finish is first cabin. It's not a cheap amplifier, but it is well worth the money.

RETURNED FROM TEN TEC Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My Titan III was returned from the factory with a new tube. The problem that I reported was caused by a shorted tube taking out the cathode resistor.
