		Henry 5K Classic Amplifier (2 x 3CX1200A7s) Heathkit ID-5001 Weather Computer Nye Viking RFM-003 Wattmeter In the summer of 2003 I made several modifications to the Henry amplifier to make the cooling system more efficient while at the same time reducing the fan noise. Full QSK capability and a step-start inrush limiter for the HV power supply were also added. CLICK HERE to go to my Henry Radio 5K Classic modification page.
