Please ignore my
last post....sorry, working on two projects at once and had a senior
moment.!!!!
I really need a MRF492 or
suitable substitute to build a 6M 100 watt amplifier. The only one I
can find is way beyond my
retirement budget.
TNKs es 73,

about it for a reasonable part.
MRF492A at about $28 13.8V (officially 70W usually does 100w)
MRF140 at about $69 28V 150W
The MRF140 is a bit more power at near 150W but you will
need 28V for that. The MRF492 is a 12V device that can
deliver nominally 100W.
I presume you are building the 100w 6M brick QST design.
I have a MRF492 amp of that design and MRF140 one spawned
off that both being the QST design from years ago. I
haven't seen any transistors that are cheaper by any great
amount that can do 6M and do it acceptably (passable IMD).
