Mirage B 2518 G
This compact, rugged, VHF RF power amplifier greatly improves signal-
quality and range. This unit contains a low-noise GAsFET receiving
amplifier, a 160-watt power amplifier, and associated control and
protection circuitry.
This amplifier operates from any well-filtered direct-current 11-15 volt
power source capable of supplying 30 amperes under full-load. The
power source must be either negative grounded or totally ground
independent.
Warning, never use this unit with:
1.) positive-ground supplies
2.) vehicles having positive-ground batteries
3.) power sources exceeding 16 volts
Always fuse power leads at the battery with 30-ampere fast-
blow fuses.
This amplifier has the following important features:
1.) Automatic RF actuated transmit and receive switching or manual
switching
2.) Active bias for greatly improved SSB linearity
3.) Low-noise GAsFET receive preamplifier
4.) True push-pull circuitry and clean RF layout for excellent stability
5.) Excess SWR and overdrive protection
6.) Remote control capabilities
