Would be nice to have an amp that would provide legal limit output with
minimal input and minimal distortion products.

The FCC has given up on ham radio in the same fashion they gave up on CB
radio. FMRS is adequate in their minds for all forms of non-commercial

installation.
Run all the power you can afford.
