Except for low power (part 15 of FCC regs in U.S.) or amateurs building
their own equipment, you cannot legally use any home made transmitting
equipment or amplifiers. Such equipment must be certified by the relevant
government agency in your country. You can certainly buy a certified amp
and use it, but you'd have a big job to get your own device certified.

Check with the FCC in U.S., Industry Canada in Canada etc., for regulations.
