Description
This custom designed HF amplifier intended for QRP 🙂 operations or as driver for big gun PA. Amplifier is great for low power SDR – Red Pittaya, SDR DUO – just 1 mW (0 dBm) input RF power for 100W output. This amplifier produced from high quality ORIGINAL parts, such as pair RD15HVF1, pair RD100HHF1 Mitsubishi transistors, OPA2674 IC and AMIDON cores. PA PCB mounted on aluminium heatsink for good cooling. PA has very flat frequency response from 1 MHz to 55 MHz
Nominal power supply is 13.5v
Nominal current is 17A
Maximum current is 20A
Idle current is 0.4A (per one RD100, adjustable)
