• (*) Please, refer the applicable regional band plans and laws for specific allocations and limitations;
• In specific business cases, extensions or changes of the frequency coverage can be discussed, but this must be agreed upon before ordering. In any case, this is not the producer's obligation and can not be against local rules and laws.

Rated Output Power

• 1000 W ±0.5 dB, PEP or continuous carrier, without mode limitation;
• You will have to reduce the output power to about 500 W in order to keep the mains current consumption below 10 A if the amplifier is operated at below 200 VAC mains supply voltage.

Intermodulation Distortion (IM3)

• Better than 31 dB below rated PEP;

Harmonic and Parasitic Emissions Output Suppression

• Better than 60 dB (65 dB typically);

Input and Output Impedances

• Nominal value: 50 Ohm unbalanced, UHF (SO-239) type connectors;
• Input circuit: Broadband, SWR below 1.2 (1.1 typically), 1.8-54 MHz continuous range without retuning or switching;
• RF bypass path: SWR - below 1.1, 1.8-54 MHz;
• Acceptable SWR at the output load (the antenna): up to 3 with proportional power reduction and up to 1.5 for full output power;

RF Power Gain

• 14 dB ±1 dB (typically 40 W for 1000 W output power);

Mains Power Supply Voltage

• 100-240 VAC, ±10%, 50-60 Hz, Single phase;
• Below 200 VAC the output power is reduced to 500 W;

Mains Power Consumption at Full Output Power

• Power factor of 0.95 or higher;
• Up to 2100 VA at rated output from 200/240 VAC mains supply;
• Up to 1100 VA at 500 W output from 100/120 VAC mains supply;

Mains Power Consumption in Low Energy (Waiting) Mode

• Less than 1 VA;

Receive / Transmit Control

• KEY-IN - Phono RCA connector
  • Voltage applied to the transceiver keying output - up to +12 V;
  • Closed-circuit current flow to the transceiver keying output - up to 6 mA;
• KEY-OUT - open-drain Phono RCA connector
  • Output resistance: not more than 120 Ohm;
  • The maximum allowable open-circuit voltage coming from external devices connection: +50 V;
  • Maximum allowable closed-circuit current flow by external devices: 20 mA;
• Minimum required time of sequencing between sending a request for transmitting (KEY-IN "ground on transmit" signal) and applying RF drive power at RF INPUT connector for safely switching receive to transmit: 10 ms.
