Looks to be new and unused, but will sell as used. Covers the HF amateur bands in two 
switchable ranges. The circuit is the same as AN-762 from Motorola and is very similar to the 
500 watt amp by MFJ using the same 2SC2879 transistors. New price was around $600.00 
for this powerful amplifier. Used ones have sold in the range of $385.00 - $550.00 - this one 
is far less.

I know this is not for everyone, and it could use some extra RF filtering, but it does work and 
is a nice heavy duty 500 watt ouput HF amlifier at a great price.

Available for $250.00 FIRM plus shipping. 

ALSO available - ASTRON RS50M power spply in excellent working condition. 13.8V DC at 
50 amps! Ideal for this amplifier. Will sell for $189.00 FIRM plus shipping.
