I am building up such a linear amp 12w --> 200w on 2-30 MHz. 
If it
tests out well, I am thinking their may be a market for 
this.  I
understand that the FCC has to accept the unit, but I wonder 
if it is
only available as a kit if that applies?  This is a 28-volt
transistor so a 28 volt 20A supply is needed>>>

Kits and parts kits, even when incomplete, have to be 
certified. For some reason the FCC has allowed the CCI kits 
to slip by but even at Heathkit, once type acceptance came 
into play, things had to go past the FCC.

It's a big deal to do a certification filing. Just follow 
the rules outlined by the FCC. Gain limit is 15 dB, there 
are harmonic and spurious specs, and no amplification or 
easy modification for operation between 26-28 MHz.
