Oh yes it can, and it will. Replacing the mrf-422's with bigger transisters it will do more. I have seen it done.

For starters when you change to a transistor with different input and output specs the transformers and caps will be of different values for optimum performance. Secondly the power supplies are usually built to deal with the current draw of the device in the amp. Higher draw equals more and possibly too much strain on the supply .... = blown rectifiers and maybe more.

Huh?Did I miss something?The tv antenna is parallel to his house.Cell phones are to unreliable,telephone is to expensive,but nesessary for private conversation wink,wink.Radio is the only way to go.Fun!!Man if this were just fun and relaxing with no challenge I'd just can the whole thing.
