I love the 30 meter band. There is some good dx on the band that really wants to chat instead of just exchanging reports. But I also love my Paragon and I would like to be able to put out the 200 watt allowed power on the band. I also have a Titan that sits on the desk unused most of the time.

Any ideas on a good way to get that extra 3 db? What about one of those "no-tune" solid state amps like SGC with an RF attenuator inserted between the rig and amp? I would miss the QSK function.

I know some of you will think this is crazy but I would find those db's useful at times. (And I am not trying to push the envelop of legality.)
