You won't because a switched HV supply will cost more than the 
entire PA, and is more difficult to engineer.

It's especially difficult to switch thousands of volts in diodes, and 
keep RFI out of the receiving system. Of course, if you don't care 
about voltage regulation the supply gets easier to build.
