Hi Reed,

Yes, this amp looks quite reasonable, especially for use at the 50W level. The concern would be with others that lack proper filtering at the output. OTOH, I'd like the IM to be better if it were in the kW class. :)

Looks pretty clean to me!

There are several 100 watt transceivers that are/were sold that should, in my opinion, be taken off the market. None was made in the U.S.! Manufactures have done a very good job on improving receivers, but not much has been done to improve the noise from transmitters. Throw that into a 1500 watt amp & you are adjusting knobs on the receiver to filter out the noise. Manufacture a clean transmitter and we wouldn't need some of the filters on our receivers.
