Steve,

coughdiplexer
No go!  While it's true that a diplexer would nicely terminate all 
harmonics and thus avoid impedance transformation in the line, it would 
also negate the main advantage of an ET transmitter, which is the high 
efficiency. With a near square wave voltage at the drains, a diplexer 
would dissipate a considerable amount of power in the load resistor.
The game is making an amplifier that does not dissipate power generated 
at harmonic frequencies, but that simply doesn't generate any power 
there. To that end the low-pass filter cannot be a diplexer.

Rob,

Ha ha!  Excellent! A keeper. I hope I didn't sound like that to too many 
people here! :-)
