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. Thanks.
