James,
I do not see any amps that would meet your requirements.  There are
several intermediate types that would boost the 10mw at 430mhz to
enable you to use this low power driving another PA after that to
meet 75watts output.  It seems that you should invest in a "normal"
mobile or handheld xcvr that would come closer to what you are
trying to accomplish.  Go to Mirage amps website for some specs on
amplifiers to get a feel for what is commercially available.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Amplifier Suggestions?

Hello,

We are looking for a UHF amplifier (430-440MHz) for a transceiver to
go from
10 mW to ~ 75W.  Most of the amps were are funding require a much
stronger
input power than we can do. Note, it's a transceiver, so we want to
be able
to receive through the system as well.  This is for half duplex
satellite
communication using a USRP radio.

Do you have any suggested amps?

Thanks,

--James, KF6RFX
