Take a look at this site: http://www.n2ckh.com/fl110.htm
These show up from time to time. My little QRP circle of friends have found 2 in the last month. Both were around $300. When you see a solid state amp that was built in the late 70's with the original output transistors, you get the feeling it was put together correctly. The amp can actually take up to 15 watts in, and can develop higher output than the 110 watt advertised output. I believe it has a 200 watt PA potential. The Tokyo HL50 (forerunner to the HL45) can be purchased in the 350 - 400 price range. If you have to order one new, and pay shipping, it can become cost prohibitive. You can always go the Metron route, and have up to 1K watts; if you have enough battery and charging system.

I'm sure it's a good quality amp but I only want up to 200 watts max for mobile use. I may be out of touch, but I think ~$2/watt should produce a reliable amp of less than 200 watts. God Bless & 73!

It is expensive but has good power output and is highly rated on eham. The only issue is that you have to order it from Japan. http://r-onetrading.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.fly page&product_id=566&category_id=30&manufacturer_id=15,11,64&option=com_virtu emart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1 It is in the $1300 price range.
