HLA 300 Black
HF Broadband 1.8—30 MHz Linear Amplifier
The HLA300 is a 12VDC HF broadband linear amplifier suitable for use in the range
from 1.8 to 30 MHz with a maximum output of 300W (Av. power) with a maximum in-
put drive of 15W, it has been designed to be used with transceivers with 10W outputs but
can be used equally well with any transceiver capable of producing 1 to 15W output. It
uses 4 RF power transistors in two parallel push pull circuits biased in class AB. There
are 6 Low Pass Filters with cut-off frequencies of 3,4,5,8,15,22 and 31MHz that greatly
reduce unwanted harmonic output to acceptable levels that may be selected manually or
automatically. It features a microprocessor that controls all of the functions of the ampli-
fier and its protection circuits. Protection is provided for excessive input power, excessive
load VSWR and excessive heat sink temperature. The amplifier may be used either in a
mobile / portable or fixed station installation.

  • Page 1 HLA 300 Black HF Broadband 1.8—30 MHz Linear Amplifier The HLA300 is a 12VDC HF broadband linear amplifier suitable for use in the range from 1.8 to 30 MHz with a maximum output of 300W (Av. power) with a maximum in- put drive of 15W, it has been designed to be used with transceivers with 10W outputs but can be used equally well with any transceiver capable of producing 1 to 15W output.

  • 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 am- plifier to overheat and shutdown prematurely.
  • Page 5 The cross sectional area of the cables used to connect the amplifier to the PSU should not be less than 6mm² or 10 AWG. They should also be kept as short as practicably possible to avoid voltage drop due to ohmic losses. This is less of a problem in a fixed installation where the power supply may be placed close to the amplifier.
  • Page 6 The protection circuit for excessive input power should not be regarded as a 100% protection for all levels of input power. Up to about 50W the circuit will work very effectively and will save the amplifier from damage, above 50W for example accidental 100W or more applied to the input the protection circuit can not be expected to provide complete protection.
  • Page 7 VSWR. MODE: The HLA300 may be used for all of the common narrow band transmission modes such as SSB, CW,AM,FM, SSTV and data modes etc. Warning: Transmit Time.
  • Page 8 Protection: Excessive Heat sink temperature: Three short beeps LED 4 OFF Excessive Input Power: Three long beeps LED 4 Flashing Excessive SWR or LP Filter Error: Three long beeps LED 4 Flashing Input drive and power output: The amplifier should give almost full output with approximately 10W input. This should be the nominal input power.
