10W broadband HF/6M 1-55MHz RF power amplifier

Description

This custom designed HF broadband QRP amplifier intended for field or mobile operations or as driver for LDMOS amplifier. This amplifier produced from high quality ORIGINAL parts, such as pair RD16HHF1 (or RD15HVF1) Mitsubishi transistors, OPA2674 IC and AMIDON cores. PA’s PCB mounted on metal basement for good heat dissipation.  PA has very flat frequency response.
