OT: 10 watts in, 400 watts out amp

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Someone said they weren't aware of any amps that do 5 in 100 out.  How
about 10 in and 400 out?
No, not FCC type accepted, but it's available.  I'm sure there are others.

Doug,

The THP HL-100BDX and the HL-700B amplifiers are NOT available for sale in
the United States from Tokyo Hy-Power Dealers.

If you look here: http://www.thp.co.jp/english/index_ham_e.html

Those that are available for sale in the U.S. are clearly indicated with
(FCC Approved) next to the model numbers.

The THP HL-450B is available in the U.S. though, and it provides up to 400w
output with 100w input. The smaller HL-45B provides about 45 to 50w output
with 5w +/- drive.

There are all sorts of amplifiers from around the world that are not
available for legal sale in the U.S. due to lack of FCC approval.

That said, a lot of them are available here in the U.S. through CB radio
shops that don't seem to follow the law.

73,

Bob W5OV

I drive a TE Systems 2m solid state amp with the ten watts from the K144XV in my
K3 and it puts out 350 watts.

That's pretty close...

  Tom,

As I recall, the FCC 15 dB restriction is not applicable for amplifiers
that operate above 50 MHz (or is it 30 MHz).
In other words, it applies only to HF amplifiers.
