[BVARC] Any recommendations for a VHF/UHF amplifier?

[Jeffrey Carson]

 The Toptek amps from DXE will do 80ish with just a few watts input. They dont like anything over 5, great for qrp rig input. I have the one below, seems to be robust.

 Well - I need to go 5watts since I am going mobile and need save battery. But thank you all, after looking at suggestions and looking how they work, there is an amplifier standard chip the ht use. 
Again - thank you all

  Was that supposed to be 50 watts? I haven't seen any amplifiers that boost 2 or 3 watts to 5 watts. I have used Mirage amplifiers in the past and they worked as expected. Since Mirage was taken over by MFJ they might be gone when gone now.

   To all, 
  I am looking for an amplifier for UHF/VHF signals. Want to go from 2 to 3 watt to 5 watt. Does anyone have experience and what did you use? Note: just want either simple chip or simple board to go between SDR radio and antenna.
