Hi Alan,
In a few weeks i am /p in EI for 7...10 days! I'm thinking about beeing
QRV on LF with a "travel-equipment". This might be a 100m kite antenna
and a LF TRX and a 12V PA running at up to 30W out. There would be no
alternative to a 12 V design! Using such a 12V, 7Ah battery would allow
some hours of TX activity! :-)

Why stick to 12v ?? Best efficiency will always be at higher supply voltages
....also more tractable output impedances.

Subject: Re: LF: Title: Power MOSFET Knock Efficiency Up A Notch
These FETs can be used as a very low-loss electronic switch in 12V
circuits but are not suitable for a easy PA design (running at 12VDC).
Maybe they are difficult to get. An alternative which is easy to get and
is most suitable for a high power class E PA at 12 VDC is the IRF1404

Could these help in getting the efficiencies higher in LF amps?
Granted, these are low power devices. Looks like they are on the right
track.
