Greetings, fellow lovers of heavy stuff:

Does anyone know what the fully-loaded CW OUTPUT is supposed to be for
the Ameritron AL-80?  (Not the AL-80A or later ones--I have an original
AL-80, made prior to the company's move to Mississippi.)

The manual is very poorly done.  It states that one should tune for max
output without exceeding 150 ma grid current and 350 ma of plate
current, but fails to say how much output power should be showing at
this point.  In fact, the manual nowhere states what the output power of
the amp is--no CW figure, no PEP figure--nada!

Appreciate any info anyone might have on this beast!

Many thanks, Keith
