Agreed. There are some RF fets out there that will do a very nice job but not many will pay the price. A local has been gathering parts to build a fairly large amp with a few of the LDMOS transistors. I think a big tube or two would be cheaper in the end but he's more interested doing something different. I believe one of the reasons that you rarely see high quality CB equipment is because there is no demand for it. People want big watt meter readings, top notch workmanship, stellar customer service and they want it dirt cheap.
