OF COURSE! 3.1500 watts

;-)

Is there anything such as too much power (within legal limits)?

Of course if we are talking cost, mobile/portable, or size then
500-600w Output is adequate most of the time.

2. 100 watts

25 allows the most common 100w rig to run cool and easy but most
of us have 100w of drive available.

No, outboard is preferred to distribute weight and to keep heat
away from the RF chassis.  (Solid state amps may be 12v or 50v,
12v is almost always separate, 50v tends to be separate as well.)

> 2. one input

What would be the purpose of more than one, please?

> 3. one output

Same question.  (I'm the slow guy on the list.

> 4.simple metering

Please define "simple".

> 5. Solid state/ Transistor.

I personally prefer solid state but tubes work too!

> What about 2 meters and 440?

No interest in high power on those bands here.
