Ameritron ALS-1406


 

I have only had my 1406 for a month now. It is performing well. Some one told me that they had a 1406 and that it would do 1500 watts easily. I just tried mine for the first time at that power level. I had a 20 minute qso. They told me that my audio sounded find and the amplifier did not kick out at that power level. Apparently Tom made a very good design, ...again. I accidently got it up to 1600 watts and it did not kick out. I will not do that again.?
?
The size of this amplifier with it separate powers supply is huge compared to the other 1500 watt SS amps being sold. I think it is double or triple the size of a Mercury or Acorn SS amp. I did not want to buy either of these other amps because they had computer screens to show the power, VSWR, etc. I did not want something else that could go wrong. The 1406 is just knobs and meters. I prefer that.
?
If someone else here has a 1406, I would love to hear their own comments on its performance for them. My serial number on the 1406 is 00015. :-) Apparently there were few made before they closed.?


 

So far, so good.? What was the price, including the power supply ??

Tom left Ameritron in 2019.? Dunno who actually designed it.?


 

It was $3500 shipped.?
