All of the current breed of KW solid state amps use 8 each MRF-150 Mosfets in the output stage. 1000 watts keydown output is the maximum you can squeeze out of those 8 transistors and still have a margin of safety. The least expensive of the lot is the new Tokyo Hypower HL2KFX at around $2600 plus $330 shipping. Its a bare bones KW amp at 54 lbs with its built in switching power supply. If you add a KW autotuner to the combination, the price starts to get up near the $4000 range. Very few in the hobby can afford it. So there is a very limited prospect for sales unless the price could be kept below 3K. Here is the web link for a very interesting amp.
