Stefan -
Your design has a certain amount in common with my 700 Watt half
bridge design http://www.g4jnt.com/137tx.pdf, in particualr the way
the output FETs are driven in parallel from a common drive
transformer. I took the idea from the Decca transmitters.
But driving the FETs in this way gave a tiny but significant period
when both were on. I compensated for this in the same way as the
Decca ones did by adding a small centre tapped choke in series with
the top and bottom devices to absorb the transient.
Did you check for or detect any such transients? I found them very
small and probably non damaging, but the small choke did not
otherwise affect performance so was used in the circuit as an extra
precaution. That Tx has been very reliable over the years.
