Proud hams could drive that change. With current LDMOS devices lots of money can be saved with one stage amps. That change would accelerate switching from tube amps to technically much more advanced LDMOS amps. Less energy consumption, smaller shack space required. Another question is are there more hams in USA or CB operators? 73, István ha4zd On 04/04/2015 00:01, Oliver Dröse wrote: > > On a deeper level, to design an amplifier with that much gain is bad > design > > Huh?
