Kenwood TS-590S, Ameritron AL-80B, Palstar AT2K

I made the decision to get an amplifier so after much research and talking to many folks I purchased an Ameritron AL-80B with a Palstar AT2K tuner to match things up.  I also got the Ameritron ARB-704 relay to make connecting the amp to the 590 easier and safer for the rig.  Learning to tune the antenna on the AT2K is a breeze but I am pretty slow on tuning the amp. I have made several contacts with the new amp and tuner and all seems to be well.
The next post will be on how I tune up my antenna and amp to the TS-590.  I hope I have it correct
Until next time
Peace
