Commercial Motorola Amplifier Rack System: 50/144MHz
Fully metered Single supply dual RF deck Motorola system each using a pair of
8560AS conduction cooled tubes. This system is fully solid state switched, and
ready to go. Has been in operation for 2/1 years at K3TUF station. Power
Supply has been modified for class AB operation. 50 MHz deck required no
modifications, 144 deck only required on modification to be brought to amateur
frequencies.
This a very rugged system that has been extensively used on wsjt as well.
Metering includes separate meters for grid voltage, high voltage, plate
current, and forward and reverse power output for both bands.
The system occupies a 5 foot rack that is on wheels. Included are a complete
working 50 MHz rf deck and a partial 144 MHz deck as well as six, working spare
tubes along with complete schematics for the 50 MHz system.
The 50 MHz requires only one watt to drive to over 400 watts, I have run the
amp up to 500 watts. The 144 MHz amp requires only two watts for 350 watts, I
have run the amp up to 425 watts. The amp is spectrally pure and checked with
a spectrum amplifier. It has also passed the test of locally demanding hams
under contest conditions for spectral purity.
This is being sold to make way for a new full power amplifier.
I am asking 750 dollars for the complete system.
I will bring the spare devices and pictures along to the Mid Atlantic
Conference and Hamarama this weekend for your review. Unit is available in
Lancaster County at my home.
Thanks for looking,
Phil
