Function:

provide 3-5 Watts RF output

Input/Output:

• POWER: 9-15 VDC, 5.5 x 2.5mm power jack
• RF IN: Zin = 50 ohms, expect 10.8 V p-p, BNC Jack
• RF OUT: Zout = 50 ohms, BNC Jack
• KEY IN: Zin >=10K, driven by CMOS, RCA Jack 0 V = key-down (i.e., transmit)

Operator Controls:

• No operator controls anticipated

Key Specs or Limitations:

• Class AB preferred for future SSB use, Class C OK
• Gain 12-14 with .25-.35 W drive (typ)
• Broadband topology preferred, single band OK
• Push-Pull preferred for 2nd harmonic rejection, single ended OK
• Output stage should withstand loads of 5-500 ohms without damage
• Negligible backwave when un-keyed (< 1 mW)
• Heatsink may extend outside normal form factor
