Not without paying a bunch for bandpass filters and power amps to get it up high enough to actually drive your 100w amp. Most SDRs are just the transceiver without all the front-end parts you really need for a "usable" radio.
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, true, you'll need a bunch of intermediary stage amps as well, you won't drive 100W without something in the middle. Typically a set of usable stages would be an SDR, a very sharp bandpass filter, a 1W or so buffer, then something on the order of 5 to 10W and then into real power stages 50-100 or so and if you want to go substantially higher than that you'll need yet another stage. And each of those will need to be perfectly regulated to avoid dumping a bunch of harmonics into the air.
- trothamel 5y agoThat's correct, though getting those is possible, and something of a fun project. I've found the stuff 60dbmco ( https://www.ebay.com/sch/60dbmco/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= https://www.ebay.com/sch/60dbmco/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=... ) makes to be useful for this . You're probably not saving any money this way, but you do learn a lot.
