Normally you'd expect the final amplifier to be fairly "stiff" - the output
power should be inversely proportional to the resistor you put on it.
??? Shirley, some mistake.
Both AF and HF power amplifiers generally have a very low output impedance.
Motorola's AN721 app note on impedance matching networks for RF
transistors explains this.
This doesn't apply to QRP output stages, though.
