Checkout the Expert 2K. Full legal limit even on 6M. A piece of beauty to behold.

Agreed, that won't happen anytime soon, but all those requirements don't
have to happen for silicon to take over everywhere outside of certain areas
of New Hampshire.

Check the specs for the Icom IC-PW1:

1 kW 100% duty cycle on all bands
Automatic protection against every imaginable fault
All bands 160-6 meters including WARC
Auto tuner including 70 frequency memories
Detachable control head
And more

The drawback now is price, about $5k brand new. If they can cut that in
half and up the power to the legal limit, you can pretty much say goodbye
to tube type amps. Not going to happen soon but it will happen.

The usual disclaimer: Not affiliated with Icom, dealers or suppliers in any
way. Just a ham.

##  Is the PW1 a new amp?  What is the IMD specs ?   What devices
does it use?   It might just be the ticket.
