[Flexradio] Fwd: Amp for the 1500

2012-06-06 Thread John Kramer
Samuel Not ALL the amps made by RM Italy are CB type and non-filtered. They have a few models made specifically for the ham bands - they include an ALC and PTT line on the back, and switchable band filtering for all the ham bands from 160 - 10 meters. I have the RM Italy BLA-350. It includes a

The issue is overdrive. I have a HLA300v that has plenty of gain and the F1500 is a good match at 5W. 300W at 160m, lower gain at 10m. They use 4 SD1446 75W transistors. PEP claims are double reality. New version has MRF455 60W bipolars. Clean to about 200W level with output filtering and

Maybe. It does not tell you if the bandwidth is affected. I have used hardware versions of this (the link appears to be software, it is not clear) with limited results. Justin KB1TFH On Jun 6, 2012, at 3:06 AM, Fred wrote: I wonder if this would work with the

One of the main problem with these amps are the UNregulated bias supply . The bias that sets the class of the amp will vary greatly when it is not regulated . . Also the amps are highly overrated as far as power output. A pig with lipstick is still a pig. These amps are junk and are not

Patrick,I found that DDutil supports the Flex Knob even better than PowerSDR does. It gives more control options, expecially some I wanted. In addition, since I have a little VB script to start everything in order and delay starts by a few seconds, DDutil brings up the Knob after PSDR is up
