I think you are going to need one of the TE Systems amps that only take 100-500 mW of drive to put out 170 and 80 watts respectively; the 0548G or the 0505G models.
I also believe that you have to use the QRP output (BNC) rather than the one from the PA since the PA filters might attenuate 50 MHz. You will need to remove the 50 ohm load from the QRP output if you are working HF, so a switch will be desirable. A duplexer would not be necessary in this case. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil LaMarche Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 10:17 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] 6 meters No one answered this yesterday.... Seeing the RF out of the SDR1K is the same for 6 and HF, one would need a duplexer to operate on 6. Or, seeing I am driving an Amp, perhaps it would be better to use a rotary switch to go from the output to the appropriate load, amp or 6 meter stuff. I know this is simple stuff but want to make sure I do it right. Does anyone know if 500mW will drive a solid state amp that requires 10 watts max for 170 w. I know the power would be reduced but even 80 or so is OK on 6. I sure there are some 6 meter guys out there. Thanks in advance.
