Just out in the shed rummaging through some bits 'n pieces, and came across an old commercial VHF amplifier, almost intact.
The thing that caught my eye was an MRF492, which is the final output device.
Anyone had experience in using these devices in 6 meter amplifiers? They are good for about 70 watts or so.
Before the 'Gee it's an old piece of gear' brigade starts up, yes I know its old but, I am not interested in a commercial amp, I am going to home brew my own.
Just looking for past experiences from those who have been there, done that.
