  • Page 4 Installation: Unpack the amplifier from it’s shipping carton and inspect for any signs of damage. The amplifier should be installed (either fixed or mobile installation), in a place that allows good ventilation and provides a suitable base to support it. Failure to allow for reasonable ventilation will cause the amplifier to overheat and damage may occur.
  • Page 5 The installation location must also provide a suitable ground system both for RF and the AC power supply, (if used). This is very important safety requirement for any radio trans- mission equipment but as power increases becomes increasingly important. A good RF ground will also help to prevent any returned RF from causing problems with the equip- ment.
  • Page 6 Mode: The KL405 may be used for all of the common narrow band transmission modes such as SSB, CW,AM,FM, SSTV and data modes etc. RX Preamplifier: The KL405 is fitted with an RX preamplifier, that when activated can help to increase the received signal level.
  • Page 7 The KL405 features an input attenuator that may be used to reduce the output of the amplifier if the drive radio does not have the facility to reduce its output power.
  • Page 9 KL405 Broadband use: The KL405 is designed for operation on the 10m Amateur radio band, from 28.000MHz to 29.700MHz however the amplifer has useful gain covering all of the bands from 160m to 10m, (See the diagram ‘Gain vs Frequency’ on the previous page). The amplifier does not feature Low...
