One reason Elecraft (or any other manufactor of kits) would be unlikely to offer tube amps is that they don't want builders putting "der fusin blowing fingers" in a rig with a kilovolt B plus supply. Or multi kv supply for high power (QROo?) amps. One big advantage of solid state rigs. But I still can and do blow the fuses. 73 Rick Dettinger K7MW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy W5TVW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bill Coleman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Fred (FL)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 7:09 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Product Ideas
