TE Systems makes 13.8V 432 MHz amps with power output of 50, 100, and 175
watts, plus a 300 watt model that runs on 28V. Different models require
different amounts of input power to produce the rated output. See
http://www.tesystems.com/.
I'm sure other well-known amplifier brands carry mid-power level 432 amps as
well, but I've always had good luck with TE. You do have to watch the input
power, though, and not screw up, or use an appropriate attenuator in the
input feedline to protect the input stage of the amp from any possible
excess drive.
