Progress is reported on the development of an 11.424{endash}GHz magnicon amplifier. The magnicon electron gun has been characterized, a new set of microwave cavities designed and engineered, and simulations of magnicon operation carried out based on the predicted properties of the electron beam. The tube will be assembled for initial operation in December 1998, following the completion of a set of measurements of the electron beam. The predicted power is {approximately}60 MW at 60{percent} efficiency. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
