That exact same device is sold in a few places online. Actually that's wrong. It's sold in a ton of places. I bought a few of them to experiment with. 1200 w is a bold lie no matter what the heatsink is. The point is you just can't get that much heat off the die of those transistors. I'll be...
If you have high voltage that's half the battle.
The rest is mainly switching RF in and out and metering. The ameritron amps can suffer any and all failures just like any tube amp. The problems you find with any amp are always one or more of the following.
Issues with HV, no filament v, bad...

I mean yes the cheapest thing to do would be to get some tubing get some hardware get another gamma match and make it into a 4 + 4. On the other hand by the time you take the antenna down and do all the work and source all the parts yes it'll be cheaper but you could probably just take your...
