Hi Folks,

As a winter project, I'm considering building a medium power 2 meter amp.  I
would be interested in comments on popular amp designs.  Right now I am
giving serious consideration to the amp featured in the 1994 ARRL Handbook
based on the 8930 or 4cx250.  But I would certainly be open to suggestions
for better designs.

My requirements are pretty simple.  I have  a very limited budget, but I
figure I can pick up the parts over the span of a few months OK.  The amp
has to be LINEAR, as it will be used primarily for SSB/CW. My primary rig is
an Icom 746, so I have up to 100 watts of drive available if needed.
Although I do a lot of Roving, I'm planning this amp to be used for the home
station.  I think a solid state amp of this caliber would likely be beyond
my budget...

Tips, suggestions, comments?
