A friend of mine has been getting himself interested in building a super
Full legal limit solid state amplifier. What is catching his attention
are the relatively low cost high power FETs available out there. I know
he is looking at the modules available from some Russian on eBay. He
has started to get me interested but I am no design engineer. This
evening I started researching this topic on the internet and was amazed
at the lack of good info on the subject. Stuff there is 10 to 15 years
old. I did a search at the ARRL web site and they have a 1000 watt amp
article in their QEX magazine but that was way back around 2002 or so.
OLD TECHNOLOGY! What is this? Nothing for 15 years? I knew the ARRL
was falling behind in their technical articles but 15 years with no amp
construction article? Man, this is truly sad! I suspect there are no
decent articles on building one anywhere. This hobby has truly sunk to
a new low. Guys can't even build their own dipoles anymore. I admit I
am no design engineer but I can still build stuff. Even on this
reflector I can't remember any talk about modern day amps and how to
build one using the newly offered high powered FETs.
