Definitely. I drive a 8 pill with 90 watts and that's pushing the 8 past linearity.C-class splatterbox
The Hg 2sc2879C Is a whole other animal Than the Toshiba 2sc2879. I have a Texas star 1600 with toshibas That will key 100 with 2 watts drive. I have a Paladin Tx-800 with 4 Hg 2879c that will key 100 with 10 watts drive. At vehicle voltage.Definitely. I drive a 8 pill with 90 watts and that's pushing the 8 past linearity.
Good to know, there is not a lot of info out there.The 2879c is not the same as the fakes tx star was using. The fakes work with only minor tuning changes to the circuit. The 2879C requires different winding of the input and output transformers to function properly.
They will do impressive meter numbers, I have never seen a C box that wasn't starting to spread out by the time it reached 150 watts per pill.The Hg 2sc2879C Is a whole other animal Than the Toshiba 2sc2879.

Who builds it? I'd like to have one of those.The 2 pill 2sc2879c with a built in low pass filter will do 500 nice and clean on the spectrum analyzer, throw in a true regulated ab bias circuit and you have ham level performance.
