I believe these are Class C, so they will work fine as FM or CW PAs-- probably at 100% duty cycle. They'd probably go like hotcakes for weak signal SSB if someone figures out a way to modify/use them in linear (Class A, AB1, AB2, B) service. It would obviously involve adding some bias circuitry, etc.
I have a Motorola Purc 300W and a Glenayre 150W (both 900 MHz) that I'd love to be able to use that way. Way too much power for typical repeater PA use. Too big for paperweights or doorstops, wrong form factor for a boat anchor (and I don't own an ocean liner, anyway). If anybody knows how to mod these things for linear service, please share it.
