Lance,
Wow...and I cannot do it, darn! But I have my ch.2 Platinum for
6m. What perked my attention was the freq range of 174-230
MHz. That ought to be perfect for 222-eme!
I sure hope someone can step forward to accept a few (or all) of these.
Meanwhile I am working on my next two eme bands: 1296 and 50 MHz.

Hello!
I just received a telephone call from Thomas Bohnet in Fairbanks,
AK. He is the chief engineer for a broadcasting company up there,
and is about to send 18 of these Harris amplifier modules to the
dump for scrap. They are part number 992-8969-011, and are
supposedly built to operate between 174-230 MHz without any
modifications. I don't know what the output would be at 2m with the
units as-is, or what it might take to tweak them to 2m. He told me
he thought each unit was tuned to put out around 500w, which seems
consistent with the Channel 2/6m Harris Platinum I amps with which I
have dealt. With the Channel 2 units, 10w drive typically resulted
in close to 1 kw output.
Thomas said he would prefer if someone would purchase all 18 units
from him, but he would consider selling fewer units in the interest
of trying to prevent these valuable pieces from going to the
dump. If you agree to take all 18, the cost would be closer to
$100 each (plus bulk pallet shipping). If you only wanted a one or
two, the cost would be closer to $200 each plus UPS boxing and
shipping (which I generally found to be around $100 here). I am sure
you could run a pair of these in parallel (as I described on my web
page for the Channel 2 units), if you wanted to make sure they would
handle the legal limit, and 50 VDC power supplies are very readily available:

I have no involvement in this, and cannot provide any further
information. I am simply trying to help Thomas save these amps from
the dump. If you have an interest in a solid state .5 to 1 kw amp,
please contact Thomas directly ASAP at telephone number 907
322-1985. He advised me that they will be disposed of for scrap in
the next couple of days if no hams step forward to put them to use.
GL and VY 73, Lance
