I have always been a tube builder. Never did much with transistors for amplifiers.
Thought that one day I would build a all band transistor amp. There is a lot more to it than I thought.

So to start with I built one fron the plans here. It turned out quite well. But it is nasty on the spectrum. I sarted off with a dead mirage amplifier case and installed a board in it.

I did not like the ugly construction of the keying circuit so I built mine up on a perf board.

Every part but the board came form the junk box in the shop. I made most of the broad band transformers myself.

I dont think it turned out to bad for my first solid state amp. It was very educational.

After I gain some time on some other projects I am plan to build a solid state all band amplifier.

[QUOTE="Radio Tech, post: 158394, member: 7873"] I have always been a tube builder. Never did much with transistors for amplifiers. Thought that one day I would build a all band transistor amp. There is a lot more to it than I thought. So to start with I built one fron the plans here. It turned out quite well. But it is nasty on the spectrum. I sarted off with a dead mirage amplifier case and installed a board in it.
