Been looking at the growing number of solid state HF amps available recently,and was probably going to go for something else,but then spotted Moonraker selling this virtually new SPE 2K-FA at a great price,so decided to go for it.
The design hasn't really changed much in over 15 years and has proved a solid,reliable performer. My amp arrived safely,well packed in original inner/outer boxes with added protection of a very nice,quality zip-up,reinforced transport bag,which happens to be a perfect fit for my old Kenwood TL-922,so that's now safely stored away.
Found all the info on the screen a bit confusing initially,but once you read through the manual and take your time to go through the set-up sequence,it's all basic stuff really. I made my own interface cable,as feel the ones available are somewhat overpriced,plus making my own was really easy.
The amp is working great,and around 25w in gives an easy 1kw out,changing bands through the transceiver is quick and easy,push the desired band button and away you go.
My only concern is the amount of noise from the fans,which is probably the biggest complaint on the SPE forums/groups,they really make quite a noise,my shack is generally quiet,and wanted it to stay that way,so i've housed the amp in a sound-proofed data/server cabinet,with the back removed and has made a huge difference,without any rise in operating temperature.
Very happy with the amp and hope it gives me years of trouble-free use.
