I'm on SSB 100% of the time and the Texas Star DX 500V is an excellent amp. Using an MFJ Giant Watt Meter the 500V PEPs around 350 to 450 with nominal use. I use a PowerMax 100A power supply with no problems. You can tweak this 500V with the VARIABLE knob and DIAL A WATT button along with your radio's RF PWR control. The Dial A Watt feature is also excellent for lessening a stubborn SWR reading. The 500V has a neutral sound (unlike an RMS Italy amp) making this Texas Star DX 500V a pleasure to use.
My 500V dances with a Stryker 955, Lincoln II+, George FCC, McKinley, an RCI 69 Base +, and and and a KENWOOD 590S. Let's Mambo! Thanks Copper for great service.

Great linear, on decent skip days it puts my san diego mountain signal to georgia easily, good days my transmission reaches syracuse, this is without dropping power of the linear using the variable potentiometer,
Galaxy repaired mine from lightning damage free, now i have 4 of them for my 2 stations
this linear is very comparable to dave made 4 pill with respect to power

I have had my 500V a couple of weeks now. I drive it with my radio set at 30 watts. The amp swings about 500 watts. I love my TX Star. I'm going to buy another one and use on my base station at home.
