A-1015-G Instruction Manual
The Mirage A-1015-G is the next generation of Power Amplifiers for 6 meters. New
features make it the most useful and versatile amplifier available. Features include
automatic power shut-down circuitry for protection against high antenna VSWR, high
temperature and excessive R.F. power input. A newly designed GaAsFET receive pre-
amp provides high gain and low-noise amplification for weak signal applications. The
pre-amp includes an attenuator to reduce signal output level. This is useful in preventing
Receiver Overload and subsequent Intermodulation Distortion caused by strong signals.
Provisions are made for automatic or remote (external) keying, and for remote control of
all front panel functions using the Mirage RC-1 Remote Control Unit. The Mirage A-
1015-G is capable of FM, SSB, and CW operational modes.
