I think $1,000 for a commercial SS amp based on this tech is way optimistic.
We'll see once someone introduces it, or something similar.

## They would be great for a FM broadcast TX, where its sitting on a single
freq, and only requires one fixed LP filter... and
can be optimized for that one freq. The auto tuner isnt required, nor the
myriad of relay switched LP filters. Heck,you dont require
a QSK or conventional TR relay setup either. Rack mount it, then let the fans
+ blowers make all the noise they want.... just shut the
door and walk away....and let it sit on TX 24/7.
## These LDMOS devices... will they deliver any kind of power into a 62:1
SWR....pulsed or otherwise ? I find that hard to believe.
What it might do is provide some more wiggle room.... till the conventional
high swr shut down circuitry kicks in.
## Have any of you folks seen a 500w / 1 kw FM broadcast SS module ? Typ
rack mounted in a 19 /24 inch wide rack. They are huge
things, a lot bigger than I thought. They dwarf your typ 2m brick amp.
