Perfectly legal as far as I can see. It would need approval were it
being sold as a complete amp. Even then, I see no problem getting that
approval except for possibly gain which could be easily met and the
increased price. Spectral purity? Probably good, but with dynamic
predistortoion and run at half its ratings it most likely would be
great. A couple of those surplus 50 - 60 Amp Power Supplies at less
than $50 or $60 ea and that leaves the LP filter, band selection
circuitry, and cabinet.
It is not a complete amplifier. It is simply a component and the FCC
would see it as that. The required LP filter would probably cost more
than this component. For a nice clean signal I'd want to run a pair of
them at half the rated power into a combiner. A combiner and LP filter
to handle 2 KW might run as much as two of these amps. Then you need a
capable PS so in total we are up to around $2,000 to $3,000, give or
take. That's still a bargain compared compared to what's available on
the market.

Does the FCC have to look the other way because it's a kit without a
power supply?
Or do they just not care?

Isn't this a public confession of guilt?
At least intent to operate illegally ...
What's the point of laws that aren't enforced?
Sigh ...
