Thanks to those who offered comments. Yes, the Bulgaria location for service is less than appealing, however I note that overall, Acom amps seem to get excellent reviews. Apparently teething issues with the solid state amps. I have never had to return a piece of ham gear to the factory for service, so I am still an optimist! I would have little patience with a buggy product no matter where made/serviced. Still thinking!
