	Funding: Work supported by the United States Department of Energy, NNSA, under contract 89233218CNA000001 From 2014-2016, the three highest power 201 MHz power amplifier (PA) systems were replaced at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center 100 MeV DTL. The initial DTL cavity provides 4.25 MeV of energy gain and has been powered by a Photonis (RCA) 4616 tetrode driving a 7835 triode PA for over 30 years. It consumes 110 kW of electrical power for tube filaments, power supplies and anode modulator. The modulator is not required with modern tetrode amplifiers. In 2020 we plan to replace this obsolete 6 tube transmitter with a design using a single tetrode PA stage without anode modulator, and a 20 kW solid-state driver stage. This transmitter needs to produce no more than 400 kW, and will use a coaxial circulator. Cooling water demand will reduce from 260 to 70 gal/min of pure water. High voltage DC power comes from the same power supply/capacitor bank that supplied the old system. The old low-level RF controls will be replaced with digital LLRF with learning capability for feedforward control, I/Q signal processing, and PI feedback. All high power components have been assembled in a complete mockup system for extended testing. Installation of the new RF system begins in January of 2020.
