7. SPECIFICATIONS
7-1. Parameters
a) Frequency Coverage: All amateur bands 1.8-54 MHz, extensions and/or changes on request.
b) Power Output: 1500 W PEP or continuous carrier, no mode limit.
In continuous carrier modes (RTTY etc.) for transmissions longer than 5 minutes (up to several hours
depending on ambient temperature), the external auxiliary fan must be installed.
c) Intermodulation Distortion: Better than 32dB below PEP rated output.
d) Hum and noise: Better than 40dB below rated output.
e) Harmonic Output Suppression:
1.8-21.5 MHz - better than 50 dB below rated output, 24-54 MHz - better than 66dB below rated output.
f) Input and Output Impedances:
- Nominal value: 50 Ohm unbalanced, UHF (SO239A) type connectors;
- Input circuit: broadband, VSWR less than 1.3:1, 1.8-54 MHz continuously (no tunings, no switching);
- Bypass path VSWR less than 1.1:1, 1.8-54 MHz continuously;
- Output (antenna) impedance matching capability: VSWR up to 3:1 or higher.
g) RF Gain: 13.5dB typically, frequency response less than 1dB (50-85W drive power for rated output).
h) Primary Power: 100-264 V (100, 110,120, 200, 210, 220, 230 & 240V nominal taps, +I0% -15% tol.),
50-60 Hz, single phase, 3500 VA consumption at rated output.
i) Complies with CE safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements as well as FCC-regulations.
j) Size & Weight (operating): W445 mm x D375 mm x H205 mm, 29.3 kg (17.5x14.8x8.1 inches, 64.6 Lbs)
k) Operating environments:
