Radio 2 comprises a TenTec Orion II with an Alpha 87A amplifier.  The Orion II is a great contest transceiver equipped with a full set of roofing filters. 

The Alpha 87A is a legal limit auto-tune amplifiers for the HF bands.  It runs the legal limit on all modes without a complaint.  It's just what I needed for those RTTY contests.  Changing bands with this setup is a joy.  Just select a frequency and transmit one dit.  The Alpha autotunes and you're ready to go.  Just remember to switch in the correct antenna!  I often don't.  The results aren't so pretty.
