[NLRS] Repeater amplifiers for SSB?

[David Palm]

Hello all,

I am wondering if old repeater amplifiers, presumably running Class C, can
be pressed into service for power using SSB modulation.  I presume they're
good to go for CW and obviously FM.  They're attractive in terms of their
duty cycle abilities and sometimes can be had at a reasonable price.  So
speaking broadly, has anybody heard of them being used this way, as-is or
possibly re-biased to perform differently?

Thanks and 73,
