- snip You can get a 600W broadband amp kit from CCI. The pcb is about 6 x 4". It needs harmonic filters, but I'm sure I've seen someone refer to a switched set you can buy if you don't want to build.

- Part of the problem is that the current the amp pulls (or tries to pull) is not like a resistive load but is taken in big gulps for a short period. The peak current is many (typ 5-10) times the 'aver
