Greetings, has anyone else seen the new SGC Mini Lini 500 watt output Linear 
Amplifier using Class-E Technology and Envelope Elimination and Restoration to 
amplify an SSB signal with 90% efficiency? It looks like SGC is the first to 
come out with a working Class-E / EER linear amplifier for the Amateur market. 
The power amplifier and power supply together weigh less than 5 lbs and you 
can hold them in the palm of your hand. The amplifier does need to use plug-in 
modules for each separate ham band but still a real achievement in efficiency 
and power-to-weight ratio. Go to this address to read more about it
