Thanks for the info Brad. I actually do love the old PAL amp. Have had it a long time and put quire a lot of work into it when I first got it. No problems at all but it is 40+ years old so who knows how long it holds out and I always said if and when it smokes out I was not going to try and repair it. The SWR issue has always been there at the radio side but frankly with the radio I used to have I didn't care that much and it actually ran fine for years. But with the new radio, I am more concerned about it so I'd like to get something cleaner for sure (new radio is a Stryker 955HP).  I really don't know what to do...I don't mind spending the money if I can get what is the best option. Just don't know what that is right now. A lot of thoughts to consider in this thread. Everyone has such different opinions lol as now I see "strikes" on the Texas Star and the 811 so kind of back to square one....
