I picked up a new in the box Palomar 300A.
Is the output clean enough to use with an FT-817
or similar QRP ham band transceiver on the ham bands?
Sez 4Win 400W out.

Its lack of linearity and filtering make it unsuitable for the ham bands.

What's the thing worth if I tried to sell it?
New in the box, still got the shipping foam inside
the cabinet. With Transformer, docs, box etc. ????

Part 47 Section 2.815 of the FCC rules make it unsuitable to sell or offer
for
sale in the US.

2.815(e) The proscription in paragraph (c) of this section shall not
apply in the marketing, as defined in paragraph (c) of this section, by
a licensed amateur radio operator to another licensed amateur radio
operator of an external radio frequency power amplifier if the amplifier
is for the amateur operator's personal use at his licensed amateur radio
station and the requirements of Sec. Sec. 97.315 and 97.317 of this
chapter are met.

Not clear to me the amp would be unsuitable for CW operation,
if operated properly and harmonics filtered.
