"Bob"

Because a power mosfet is far too expensive to hobby around with.

What? The IRF730 (for example) is capable of 50 Watts at up to 25 MHz for
very little drive, and costs under $1!

Bob

Agreed. But now the 150 W and up versions for 2 meters..

b.t.w. since when did the u.s. agree to go metric ? (1888?) not only for hams.
