[Amps] New amplifier announced

[Danny Pease]

I notice they say 100% duty cycle at one point (not at what power level
though) and in the specifications they say 1500 watts ICAS. If they really
are designing this for the Flex 6000 series in SO2R, I would think the
operators will want 100% duty cycle at 1500 watts with no time limit.
Whether the operators are willing to pay for that rating is another story.

This might be old news to some, but FlexRadio has announced a legal limit
solid state amplifier which will soon be available, pending FCC and CE
approval. They expect approval by the end of the year. 

This is the amp I have been waiting for for years - solid state and true
legal limit 100% duty cycle, 160-6 meters. It uses a pair of LDMOS
transistors which I suspect are the future of amateur amplifiers.
