Mirage B 1018 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
