    I think you have that backwards. Class C is for CW. SSB you want class AB. Your Elmer's should know better.

    It's not just what/how many watts a linear can do.It's how clean the audio is and how well built the linear is....

    True, and the difference in 100 watts on a meter is negligible., not even half an s unit. My preference for class c is the quality of the build and being handmade, not mass produced. I don't talk ssb so ab1 isn't a selling point for me.

    Well Texas Star is handmade and uses mass produced parts as do all the others. Theirs really only a handful of box builders who build a quality hand built linear out here anymore.

    I've got two awesome builders within forth miles of me, so I am fortunate. The problem is toshibas are getting scarce and DEI don't seem to be durable. Might have to buy one of those amps with a BLF transistor.

    Of course Galaxy recommends running their 47HP with the Dx1600x but after owning that 98vhp which I never was overly impressed with other than the quality of its receive I'm thinking no thanks Galaxy
