The 700 watt RF output is measured in a nonlinear power amplifer,
used for industrial RF power at 27.12 MHz. This is an FCC-authorized
frequency for ISM equipment which allows some radiation, not much. As
Vic alluded to below. Part 18 of the Rules and Regs cover this sort
of work.
In a linear amplifier, or an amplifier requiring some sort of
envelope modulation, one would have to derate the power quite a bit.
However, in a class E (EER) amplifier, you might be able to pull full
power from it as stated. The new SGC amplifer apperars to do just
that, although not sure whose devices they are using.
