"I was in qso with a another ham about a tube type amp that could be
used with our Yaesu FT-817 's. The FT-817 will do about 5 watt's on a
good day. He recalled that he did know of a amp like this. So
looking for a name or a schematic ?"
If you're looking for the ~100 watt range , find a PA and PS from a HW-101 or
similar rig
(the rig you could
get almost for free these days). and adapt it? That's certainly not as
elegant as a pair of
4CX1500s
but it's considerably cheaper! :-). They're generally driven only by a 12BY7 ,
not 5 w, but
you could pad
it or reduce power from the exciter.
Just a low $ proposal
