Hi Dimitris,
have you ever thought about using an Class-D-audio-Amp as a powersupply for the Class-E-RF-Amp?
Let the audi-amp follow the rf-envelope an the rf-amp follow the frequency. 
Is that accurate enough to work as an linear-rf-amp for digi-modes?

PS: what are the correct settings in wspr-software for using split mode in the transceifer in combination with an transverter to prevent data mismatch in the wspr-database? Transceifer RX: 474kHz, TX:10.474kHz

For those not familiar with Class-E, I can control the power output of
a transmitter by the Vcc I use. The power output is proportional to
the square of the voltage, so by reducing the voltage by SQRT(2), I
get half power: 50 W from 70 volts or so. The calculated output
impedance and C1/C2/L2 do not change with scaling the voltage up and
down. That makes class-e an excellent client for amplitude modulation
:-)
