Drake L4 showing over 4000 watts with Elkin Elite 6 tube & Galaxy 2517 radio

This is a video of a Drake L4 that I am selling. I am driving it with a Galaxy 2517 and a Elkin Elite 6 tuber. This is one beast of a amp for 2 RF Parts Z tubes Staging tubes. The radio is doing around 45 watts, the Elite is doing around 1300 watts and the Drake is killing the PEAK and RMS 4000 WATT SCALE! Contact me if you would like to buy the Drake. It has a Peter Daul transformer, beefed up capacitors and Fairly new Z tubes. The rest of the station is not for sale, only the DRAKE L4. $1300.00 or best offer!

what antenna u driving it with? or u on the dummy load?

[theelectroset]

your dosy is junk as they all are. the drake l4 will do at best 1400 on 10 meter.

An 8.3 maul would key you out with ease on the same antenna setup. Can you say amatuer.lol...

If there is one thing I HATE are these "C.B.er's" who are all about power! They don't even know what power is!

Dumb rednecks... sad.

[skepticalinquier]

Idiot. It is giving you a wrong reading. VSWR must be 1 to 1

I wonder what fool wasted his money on this amp......and how long it took him to realize,he got SCREWED!

4000 watts @ 400:1 swr

[ae4n]

The L4/L4B is biased for SSB operation and the light weight power supply will only allow a maximum output of about 1300 watts PEP .

[ae4n]

The Drake L-4 or the L4B will only put out approximately 1200-1300 watts maximum.

Your watt meter is definitely little better than a wild guess.
