To All: GE Did make a solid state 200 watt UHF Transmitter. They used a 100 watt PA driver to two 100 watt PA's less the 40 watt driver board and then recombined the two 100 watt to get 200 watts out.
They sure are not efficient! I agree it would be better to use a 100 watt PA at reduced power. However the 100 watt PA's are rated at 100 watts continuous power output. (That is key down for 24 hours with no degradation in power output).

The Mastr II high power stations that I referred to use a normal Mastr II solid state PA to drive a tube amplifier to acheive the 225-250 Watts on UHF or 375 Watts on VHF. If you are not familiar with high power tube transmitters and working with high voltages, stay away from these. They are not for the faint of heart, and the voltages present can be quite deadly.
