OK, you are forgiven, my son. Go and sin no more.

Yes, m'lud. In mitigation I'd like to plead Jack Daniels. :-)

Hehe! Fair comment. Thank God I don't have any reputation to lose on
this group. :-)

LOL. That'll give you Mad Cow/Bull/sailor/you-name-it disease. Try
Long Island Iced Tea or a quality Rum like Bacardi (no Hangover for
me with that and no Wild Turkey effect ).

Motorola's first solid state 450 car phone, the MK, used a 50 W 150 MHz PA
followed by a varactor tripler for 10W at 450. Varactor triplers are tricky
however.

Rubbish. Varactors are not used for freqency mulitplication. They are
freequenty used in VXCOs for modulating (or otherwise varying) the
oscillator output frequency by means of applying a DC bias voltage
which alters the capacitance of the PN junction.

The worst is suppression of 150MHz, it is almost impossible to
suppress it. Bought some UK commercial integrated modules for 432MHz
which was fed from 144MHz 1W, had a 20W amplifier within a very well
screened and silvered box, but radiation on 144MHz were almost
impossible to suppress, the only way out was to place it deep at the
lowest point of the basement with ferrite chokes on the cables
