[Amps] 50 Mhz brick recommendation

[Will Matney]

I was thinking that CCI (Communications Concepts Inc) had a 6 meter amp kit based on one of Helges Motorola designs. One could design a filter for it with all the calculators available, it wouldn't take just a few minutes. However they have filter kits there too.
