I've been reading postings about a Tokyo Hy-Power HF amp that will amplify 5-10
watts to 50-plus watts on all HF bands of 80-10. It sounds like it would be a
good mate for the Argonaut V and other similar QRP rigs when you want to run
QRO.
The Argo 509 plus the 405 amp were a good pair in their day before the FCC put
an end to their manufacture.
My question: How do these Tokyo Hy-Power amps get into the U.S. and is it
legal to import one from Japan or another country?
Personally, I feel it's time for the FCC to make the amp law more reasonable
since so many low-power ham rigs are now being manufactured and there's a new
market for such an amp. It seems to me that a simple requirement of having to
have a ham license to buy one would be good enough to keep them from the
illegal market.
