+ | It probably hasn’t been powered up since 1981 or so - so no idea what condition it might be in - but it might be interesting for radio folks (assuming there’s a large enough dummy load!). Alternatively, | ||

+ | "This linear amplifier for 144MHz employs a rugged push-pull tetrode operating in AB2 for the linear amplification of transmitters in the 10-20 watt range. A single stage dual gate mos-fet pre-amplifier is also fitted to enhance the performance on receive. This has variable gain, which is accomplished by varying the potential on gate 2. This produces a gain of approximately 20db in the maximum gain setting. Under strong adjacent channel signal conditions it may be necessary to reduce the gain to prevent cross-modulation effects in the associated receiver. R.F. input and Antenna connectors are the familiar S0-239 and are mounted on the rear panel and clearly marked. Also mounted on the rear panel are the bias control potentiometer and the mains fuse." | ||
