Description
This is custom designed HF/6M solid state ham radio amplifier with LPF onboard, 4 x RD16HHF1 based, intended for field or mobile operations or as driver for LDMOS amplifier. This amplifier produced from high quality ORIGINAL parts, such as Mitsubishi transistors and AMIDON cores. PA PCB mounted on metal heatsink for good heat dissipation. PA has 3 dB flatness of frequency response and PA can operate 24x7x365 in any digital modes without extra cooling.

This amplifier is a beautiful beast. I’ve run it continuously for 48 hours connected to my CW transceiver and WSPR beacon and it has performed excellently so far, putting out 50 watts as expected. I would purchase a second one and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid 50 watt amplifier to complement a low-power transceiver such as the QRP Labs QMX that I’m using. The heat sinks do get hot to the touch, but a 5V DC fan is sufficient to cool it off. Strong work, 60 dBm, and thank you for delivering an awesome product.
