thinking of getting the filter kit for the power-MOSFET amp in the
ARRL Handbook and using the rig's ACC band data output for an
automatic switch. A'course, I'll be using an antenna "tuner" with
it, so that'll also help cut down on spurious emissions.
A word of caution - if there is no filtering on the output section
and with the meter right after it, the measured SWR will read
incorrect (high, I think) based on the harmonic power level and the
line sampler's frequency respone. In other words, you should not
adjust the SWR with the amp turned on.
Good luck, and please drop us a note on your success!
