Hi Paul,

Is cost an issue or do you just want to see if it can be done with
MOSFETs? About 25 years ago I did a small amp (25 watts or so) above
100MHz with FETs. But I found that cost was much higher as if I'd done
it bipolar. When I looked at 100W my then pretty puny budget made the
decision for me to go bipolar.

Personally I haven't seen much happening in cost/performance and I'd
probably start out bipolar. Another cost saver is if you leave the
supply voltage level a wildcard even if this is for a mobile app. It's
no big deal these days to create whatever voltage the transistors like
best from whatever is there as a supply.

I am still a big fan of tubes, as long as they are popular enough and
thus cheap. Transistors are rather fickle and a tiny glitch in the
load connection can send them to the greener grass in a millisecond.
Tubes brush this off in stride.

For rock bottom bill of materials budget it has always paid off to
check what TV manufacturers use in the horizontal deflection finals.
That's as low cost as it gets. But I guess with the advent of big
plasma screens that may fizzle over the next 10 years.
