That's a linear amp in name only. Amplifying SSB should only be
done on that amp with PEP set below the point at which compression
sets in. This of course does not matter on CW or FM, one of the
common uses of such an amp. I'd be surprised if that amp would do
better than 100 watts PEP cleanly.
Adding a power gain and rounding to nearest two digit integer,
considering accuracy of measuring device (rarely more than two

Most power supplies lose a lot of their filtering under very light
