Hi Roger,
To sell to us they don't need certification. Of course they'd sell a
lot more with certification and dealers which would push the price up
a notch.
## Agreed.
I'd rather have a true QRO SS amp that'd run the legal limit on any
mode and stay cool. That'd mean about 2 to 2.5 KW PEP capability and
being SS they'd have to be computer controlled to stay legal.
## A Utah-based commercial RF design firm and myself are doing precisely
this now (and have been for many months).
As fat as I see, a true SS QRO amp will still cost an arm and a leg.
Maybe I'm wrong. Theoretically they should be able to build a "clean"
SS amp with IM figures in the 40+ db range for well less than the cost
of tube amps of the same power within a couple of years. I really
liked the Tokyo Hi-Power amps.
## It won't be cheap, but not an arm and a leg either. What, in your
opinion, can be improved upon regarding the Tokyo Hy-Power models? FYI -
we are running switching supplies, a 7" LCD interface, and a bluetooth
transceiver in the box. I do have bench-top photos, but they are still
very rough.
