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.

The relevant language in part 97 is that the available power to the
final amplifier stage must not exceed 1 kW for armature use. Other
jurisdictions have their own rules.
