Do we run into the FCC external amplifier 15 dB gain limit here?

Don,

WSPR, JT65 and JT9 are (1 of N tone) FSK modes.  They are no
different than conventional AFSK (1 of 2) in that the tones
are continuous phase, constant amplitude and can be amplified
by a class C amplifier without generating undue IMD or clicks.

I haven't seen the details of WSQ yet - if it is a multiple
simultaneous tone mode it would require a linear amplifier -
but the other listed "sound card" modes are fine with an
amplifier that operates in class C (or even a switch mode
amplifier so long as the bandpass filter is sufficient).

Tom,

Soundcard sourced digital modes are really SSB signals and need a
linear
amplifier.

Hi Ed.

I am more interested in a non-linear class C or higher amp for those
bands as was not thinking to run modes that need a linear amp. WSPR, a
WSJT mode, WSQ, and the like.

With the recent expansion of use to 630m for the K3s and upgraded K3
which only transmit at nom 1mw, a question arises:

Is there interest in a linear amplifier taking 1mw drive to produce
either 25w or 100w?
