D-1010-ATVN Instruction Manual
The MIRAGE D-1010-ATVN represents the latest in 430-450 MHz Power amplifiers. It incorporates
features that make it the most versatile and useful amplifier available today. The D-1010-ATVN will
amplify FM, SSB, and CW signals. It has variable SSB delay, remote Keying, over-temperature protection,
and remote control operation when using the optional RC-1, Remote.

INSTALLATION

The D-1010-ATVN may be mounted using the brackets (supplied when request is
returned via warranty card) or simply placed in a convenient operating position. The D-
1010-ATVN must have adequate ventilation for the finned heat-sink. Use #8 or larger
wire to connect the D-1010-ATVN to the battery is recommended. RG-8U, or the
equivalent, should be used between the D-1010-ATVN and the antenna. The antenna
should be matched to better than 1.5:1 for best performance. SWR greater than 3:1 may
cause damage to the amplifier voiding and warranty.

FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
