Hi Vic,

The Toshiba 2SC2879 transistors are arguably the most rugged and reliable
devices for use at 13.8 VDC. In the HENRY SS 750, then have never failed
yet. From 10 to 500 watts will require a preamp and then the 2879 (X4, 2
boards) final.

Motorola has some great application notes than can be followed. There are
also some kit makers that you can just buy parts from and roll ur own.
No tuning needed 1.8-30 MHz. Just switch in the appropriate LPF for the band
you're on.
