[Amps] Mirage/KLM HF1.8-30 amp

[Roger (K8RI)]

If the amp truly will put out 800W @ 50% efficiency it would take a 
minimum of 1600 W input 1600 / 12 =  ~133A @ 12 VDC.  The numbers given 
would indicate near 80% efficiency.

12 VDC @ 85A = 1020W which would give 400W out @ 50%  which is still 
quite respectable for a mobile.
BUT being that old, it probably uses bipolar transistors
