great amp
Review by
Romert
I have bench tested this amp with a clean radio and dummy load with LP100 watt meter and tiny SA-ultra spectrum analyzer with clamp on DC ammeter using 100 AH LiFePO4 battery stayed 13.3- 13.1 V Peak amps was 32. at 250 PEP at 10 meters . 2nd and 3Rd harmonics was quite low and under 200 PEP SSB was not visible. 50 watt AM with about 225 PEP works fine and stayed some what cool at around 13 amps with 20 amp peak amps. FM over 100 watts got warm . no harmonics until 200 watt range. FT8 mode digital staying under 100watt is fine. I tested 75 watt PEP and took a wile to heat up. But stayed warm for a wile after that so 120 MM fan recommended . Using 6 AWG wire 10 FT to battery . RG 400 coax. only bench tested on 10/12 meters so far. Would recommend low pass filter like the RM Italy one. over 200 watt . with filter no harmonics were present. 10 watt PEP in gave me 250 PEP watts on high setting . 32 amps . 13.1V . did warm up a bit. Would nor run that power level long. 200 watt PEP runs cooler and in 22 amp range. I send SSTV at 150 PEP watts and some heating . I pic Robot 32 format. all testing was done into dummy load with RF tap .
