AMERITRON AL-80A
HIGH POWER
LINEAR AMPLIFIER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Ameritron AL-80A Linear Amplifier is designed for over 1000 Watts
output SSB PEP (850 Watts output on CW) with high efficiency and total
reliability. The AL-80A covers the amateur radio bands 160 through 15
meters. It also features wide frequency coverage for MARS and other
services authorized to operate at high power.
The AL-80A uses an Eimac 3-500Z high-mu triode in a class AB
2
ground¬
ed grid circuit.
A built-in ALC circuit prevents the amplifier output from flat-topping if
the exciter gain is inadvertantly set too high.
The AL-80A is factory wired for 117V, 50/60 Hz primary line voltage.
