They are obviously not targeting the linear market. For linear applications,
limiting these devices at 175 C is absurd, SiC can easily take 250 C
junction temperature before even thinking about increasing the leakages.

I don't know if its similar, but we have some special SiC SITs (static 
induction fets) from Microsemi that are capable of 1600 watts a piece 
(not push pull) with about 120 volts Vdd. This is, mind you, in pulsed 
mode (20% duty) tuned at 200 MHz. We tested their original parts at 800 
watts peak, with 100 volts of bias. They were just like tubes in that 
they needed a negative bias to cut them off, then a less negative to 
make them conduct. Unfortunately, loss of bias (such as a loose 
connection) would cause them to burnout if special protection was not 
added. These are not as high a gain as LDMOS, since they are configured 
in common gate (like grounded grid!). I'd be curious to hear more about 
the SemiSouth parts.

found these FET's shoud with very good frequency response, anyone use it
build RF amplifier or antenna switch?
