[Amps] NXP 65V LDMOS 1K80H-1800W

[John Lyles]

Keep in mind that the 1.8 kW rating of the new LDMOS 65V parts is not 
where you would run them for amateur service with reasonable linearity. 
At least 2 or more devices are run, reduced to the power where the PA 
doesn't generate excessive IMD. When NXP and Ampleon show a power rating 
like that, they are talking about in industrial, medical and scientific 
service.
