Instructions for Use
The PA's are broadband linear power amplifier covering the entire 70cm band
with no tuning. It has a linear power output of 15 and 30Watts min. with 100 mW
of drive or a saturated output of over 20 or 40Watts with a maximum of 300 mW of
drive. Type "N" connectors are used on both input and output. The PA's require
well regulated 13.8 VDC at 5A for full power output. Keying is done by applying
voltage to the TX ON connection. Being that it is a linear amplifier it can be
used for all modes in the 70 cm band (ATV @ reduced output ratings).
Caution: Do not exceed 300 mW RF input, or 16 volts on
the DC line. Use high quality coaxial cables on both RF connections. Install the
amplifier with the heat sink on top or with the fins vertical so the amplifier
will convection-cool. A fan could be used in continuous duty applications to
blow air through the heat sink fins. It is recommended not to keep the amplifier
continuously keyed in a Repeater or ATV use.
