A 5 KW amplifier is not lawful for use under Part 97. Please strike
reference on any resubmit. - K3FU



I'm pretty sure a ham CAN use a 5KW PA, as long as he limits the power
out to the maximum allowed under our FCC rules. Its not the hardware
that is not permited, its the actual power out that counts.

Yep, you are right. We are regulated by emission standards. Not equipment
standards.

But, we here, in r.r.a.a, can "cheat" that quite legally! It is called
high gain antennas ... (or, ERP)

However, those get more difficult with "distance" (i.e, meters) ... and
age. :-( (not to mention rules/regulations.)
