Smallest Dual-6146 HF Transmitter?

[Garey Barrell]

Doc -

I think you might better understand the difficulty of your search if you 
keep in mind that a "100 W"  _AM_  transmitter is the equivalent of a 
400 W SSB transmitter in terms of power supply and size.

This is why the DX-100 - Viking II class transmitter is so heavy and 
big, compared to a 100W SSB rig.  Even the Ranger is the equivalent of a 
250 W SSB transmitter.  They've been at it a long time, but no one has 
yet found a way to miniaturize the Watt!
