Addendum:
Assuming an unloaded Q of 200 for the inductors and a Q of 1000 for the
capacitor
there are at the 300W level around:
2083V peak across the first L at 2.4A and 18W power dissipation
2090V peak across the shunt C at 2.8A and 4W pwr diss.
1720V peak across the second L at 0.4A and 2W pwr diss
Total loss is 24W or 0.37dB or 8.1%
73

>>Dear All. I am having problems with the choice of material for

>>? C ? L, ?T? network with an input impedance of 2100 ohms and
>>a load of 50 ohms, for this configuration the input L is
>>7.7mH, shunt capacitance is 117pf, and output L is 1.1mH. The
>>PA design using a 6146 low power or 813 high power work fine
>>when simulated using LT spice IV. When testing in the real
>>world using the 6146 there is in excess of 800v rms rf on the
>>network side of the anode coupling capacitor, but nothing
>>after the input L. I can only conclude that I using the wrong
>>type material for the toroids, I used the largest size
>>(unmarked) toroid which gave me a modest number of turns. I
>>have checked the Amidon tables and Iron Powder because of the
>>low AL values, which leaves Ferrite, which mix would you
>>recommend? The simulations give me output powers 90W for the
>>6146, and 300W for the 813. I would be grateful for any core
