Probably the least expensive would be the 4 tube KLV. Watch your input carrier though ;)

Does Coppers sell them? How much input will they take before they go "EL SMOKO"? What is the power they will do on AM and SSB?

Hands down the best amps to run behind a 2990/Saturn Turbo/Eagle 5000 is a tube type unit which carries transmit tubes although I do at times run my old D&A Phantom 500(converted to all finals...no drivers). If the radio is modified to give 150w out most sweep-tube(recieve tube) amps cannot stand the pressure. Boxes with 811a's, 3-500z's, 572b's like Yaesu, Dentron, Heath or Henry to name a few are built to accept the drive from high powered Ham rigs so are well suited to your 2990. 73's

The Ameritron Amps don't like more than 65 watts imnput and are rated at 50 Watts input for full legal output.

The dual-final radios like the Connex 4800 and Galaxy 99 run the Ameritron amps quite nicely.

RCI 2990,
I was just at another part of the forum, And I read one of your posts that you ordered a radio from a place in Deleware.Would that place happen to be R&R communications???If so, I just think its wild that I go there once in a while drool and sometimes make purchaces.I have bought alot of stuff from that place...Eddie

I would expect the KL1000 (the one requiring a driver)according to their specs says 700AM and 1400ssb.
