3 MHz to 30 MHz
Refer to Chart
TRANSISTORS AND
DIODES
Transmitting-13.6 VDC at 9 amps. Standby-13.6 VDC at 20
milliamps.
Stable Solid State circuitry provides a minimum transmitted
power gain of 16 times. No tuning required. Will work on any
signal of 1 watt or more. Automatic switching, using RF
power from your transceiver-no internal connections are
required to your existing equipment. Automatic side band
delay. Long life solid state lamp.

INSTALLATION
Connect the amplifier to 12 volt battery using No. 16 wire or larger. OBSERVE POLARITY. Positive
to red marked wire and negative to black wire (GROUND). Connect both positive and negative leads
directly to Qirbattery.Failin^^ (10 E^in^'rgaimtjTa distortion of the transmitted signal and a loss
in power output. Make sure all connections are tight or soldered if possible. The majority of all
problems experienced are due to improper installation techniques. REVERSING POLARITY MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER. Install the amplifier where adequate air flow is available
to cool it. This amplifier was designed and optimized to operate with 3-4 watts AM drive. Do not use
more than 4 watts drive as this will shorten the RF transistors life and severely distort the quality of
the transmitted signal.
