QRP is always great & fun to operate, however, sometimes you feel the need to pump a couple of watts to make that DX contact. That’s exactly where the need for a linear amplifier fit right in.
WA2EBY Linear Amp first showed up in 1999 QST Magazine. Since then numerous homebrewers have made their own version of this very popular linear amp design pumping power ranging from 10W all the way up to 150 Watts and much more!
The magic of this project is the clever design using two commonly available MOSFETs (IRF 510) which can be sourced very easily.
If you need an easier way to make this fantastic circuit and give the little homebrewed transceiver that extra nudge, you can buy the PCB or the complete build from VU3SUA – Sunil Lakhani
This kit is actually great for amateurs with a restricted grade license (VU3) to stay within the legally authorised power output of 50 Watts.
