In a properly designed and adjusted 4-1000A Class B amplifier, the approximate maximum power output in class "B" is 3.5 KW. That is CCS, and not ICAS. An amplifier of this output class was presented in a 195x Radio Engineers Handbook. The design works as the rig verifies, modes are AM/CW from the DX-100. Adjustments are left as an exercise for the student. Jim WB2FCN
