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

Palomar is a long-time manufacture of illegal (in the US) CB
amplifiers, echo boxes, VFO's, etc. so they probably aren't looking
much beyond that market. It's amazing to me that they've been able
to stay in business for so long...they've been around since the 60's
or 70's at least. You could run up over the border and bring one
home along with your Cuban cigars.

A bunch of the modern CB amps (esp. those under 120W) use transistors
rated for 14-30MHz only. Most of them don't have any filtering,
either.
