My 500 Kcs class E TX uses a LOPT and does not get
warm generating sufficient RF for 10W erp

Tony,
I built a clone of the 400W version
many years ago, just adapted the FET's (IRFP350's) and the output transformer
as I wanted to run it off a 56V PSU I had available. Further
extended the LPF with an extra L-C stage (although it works fine with the
original LPF) and added a zobel network (as in the 1kW
version).
Never had a FET
blown, even not when transmitting without antenna ot with a
shortcircuit in the coax. Maybe also thanks to the 14A current limiter in the
PSU.
In 2008 I adapted it to 500kHz, just
replaced the output tranformer (the double U core recycled from a TV
HV worked fine on 136 but got very hot on 500) and of course the
LPF.

Thanks for that Chris.
I have the 2nd edition LF Today and the DF3LP is
now on p69 and was one that I was looking at, so I'll steer
clear.
Shame there's no more G0MRF kits.
Tony, EI8JK.

Hello Tony,
I tried the TX in 'LF Today', 'A Beginners
Transmitter', p6 of the first edition and had nothing but trouble, blowing
numerous FETs. E-mailed the author DF3LP several times, but he never
replied. Watch out for errors in the circuits in this book!

I fully intend to be QRV on
137 by the winter.
On that note, can anyone
recommend a reliable foolproof transmitter that uses easily available
components ?

How about a 137 kcs Revival,
much more interesting than 500, which is more like 160
metres.
