The ITT Mackay Marine MRU-60 was a shipboard transmitter manufactured
in the 1980s. It contained a 100 mW solid state exciter, a broadband
100w solid state driver, and an 8877 PA. As I recall it covered 2 to
30 MHz, and did not use a parasitic suppressor. I do not know if it
suffered from high 8877 mortality rates. It made a lot of noise and
would put out a lot of power for as long as one cared to hold the key
down.
