[TenTec] Tokyo Hy-Power QRP amps

[RON ZOND]

Hi Group

My first post to TenTec reflector.
Why not build an amp that notches out the frequency range 25 MHz to 28 MHz?
Better yet, give the CBers ten years to move to a better place, and give 11
meters back to ham radio. (tongue in cheek)

I've been reading postings about a Tokyo Hy-Power HF amp that will amplify
5-10 watts to 50-plus watts on all HF bands of 80-10. It sounds like it
would be a good mate for the Argonaut V and other similar QRP rigs when you
want to run QRO.

The Argo 509 plus the 405 amp were a good pair in their day before the FCC
put an end to their manufacture.

My question: How do these Tokyo Hy-Power amps get into the U.S. and  is it
legal to import one from Japan or another country?

Personally, I feel it's time for the FCC to make the amp law more reasonable
since so many low-power ham rigs are now being manufactured and there's a
new market for such an amp. It seems to me that a simple requirement of
having to have a ham license to buy one would be good enough to keep them
from the illegal market.
