Have you actually built a class C linear RF power amp? Tell us how it
works.

It depends on how you define "linear" basically. But the term is a
total misnomer in RF amp terminology and very misleading. I can't
understand how it got there. :-/

Define "linear"? You must be joking.

I'll take that as a "no" to my question. Not surprised.

Actually I've built *several* class C RF amps, John. However, I
wouldn't call any of them linear. You will be aware than linearity
starts to go out of the window when Class A slides into Class AB and
beyond.

I am not aware of any such things. So I take it you have not designed
any class C linear RF power amplifiers.

Let's not have an argument over definitions. It's an open
invitation to John Woodgate. ;-)

So, let's not have any definitions at all. Then nobody would ever be
wrong.
