As I stated in my last post on this subject I am enjoying the heck out
of my 80-10 meter 50 watt amp which is based on the ARRL Homebrew
challenge winner from a few months back. I think I neglected to mention
that the PCB for this amp is available from Hobby PCB and there is a
whole Yahoo group devoted to the HBC projects ( ARRL HBC) where a full
BOM and all kinds of additional help is available. It was my first
experience with SMD's ( the smallest ones in the kit are 1205, easy
enough to hand solder) and I had a blast building it. I do wish there
were some higher powered options out there though in kit form. Something
along the lines of 5 watts in and 300 to 400 watts out. That would be
fun. I'm aware of the Communications Concepts designs but I'd like
something a tad more "turn key" than that. At any rate, with what the
Super Packer Pro kit goes for and the price of commercial offerings, I
think the 125 dollars or so that I have in my HBC amp was money well
spent. I even "stylized" it to match the 1500 with a black panel and
some blue LED band indicators!

Try the HF Projects Super Packer Pro kit. It should cost less, does
auto-band-tuning (the micro does frequency counter thing), and is
available from Virgil here in the US.
Colleagues,
Do you have a link for this kit?

I've also seen a ham from Isreal
advertising 35w and 140w amps for QRP radios. Any opinions?
No idea here.
