"The fcc requires amplifier gain to be 15 decibels maximum for any amatuer
radio amplifier. "

What a stupid regulation! On the one hand you are allowed 1500W and on the
other only 15dB gain? It makes no sense. Presumably one of the CB
regulations.

A gain of 15 dB is reasonable for a single stage FET amplifier I agree. 
Does the FCC also forbid operating amplifiers in series?
