I have aquired a glenayre amp that I know nothing about. The model number is GL-MCP21A. No matter where I search, I can not seem to find info on it.
It is a 3U mount, with a really cool rotary fan in the front of the case. There is a power output reading on the front panel. It runs from 28V DC. I just happen to have the macthing power supply :) It has a pre-driver that consists of a single MRF-182. It then goes into a wild 10-way divider and then combined back into a single output. The final driver stage has 10 or 12 independently fused MRF-182 transistors. Each MRF182 is rated for 30W, so this looks to be in the order of 150-200Watts. Any idea of a frequency range or power output. The one thing on the net is a PDF from Asia that shows it as a 280Mhz paging amp. This would make a wicked 220Mhz repeater amp if I could get some info on it. I would like to know more about it before blindly throwing RF into it. Do most Glenayre exciters output 4W?
