Max input power on that amp is 20 watts SSB. I bet it doens't have any type of input overload protection, either. I think it's also RF keyed, which means it will never get certified in the U.S.

If it's a good quality amp, I don't really care if it's FCC certified or not. At Dayton I talked to the President of Tokyo Hi-Power and he said they have a hard time getting their stuff certified, and that stuff is top quality! Even HRO sells Tokyo Hi-Power now.

Personally, on this RM Italty amp, I think I would rather spend a little bit more (it's not that much more) and get the Ameritron. The company is based in the U.S. and repairs their products. Who are you going to send that RM Italy amp to if you can't fix it your yourself?
