Radioworld www.radioworld.ca has for $150 canadian or $100US a
Palomar Mini magnum HF amp. Covers 14-30 Mhz with about 70-100 watts
SSB output. Includes a preamp..Looks like a nice little 20-10M amp
perfect for the 817 since it only needs 1-4 watts drive. One of the
owners says it works great with the 817

Thanks. Any idea how much current drain? I would love to get more RF out but
would like to limit total current to about 7A ( 2 for the radio and 5 for
the amplifier??? )
If it is truly linear maybe 1/2 watt drive for 40w? That's 80 watts draw and
50% efficiency for 6.67A
And no 40m on it?
Thanks
