Features
Uncompromising RF Performance
Ground-up CCS design for continuous service on modern high-duty-cycle modes. 500 W all modes on 6m and 4m, no time limits (AM 125 W). Drive: 15–20 W; also available in 5 W and 10 W versions for low-power exciters. Nil detectable spurii within the operating band.
Advanced Preamp Integration
Software-adjustable sequenced supply: 12–15 V, 30–100 ms delay, set via on-screen menus. Rear-panel DC feed or Bias-T coax injection — software selectable. Compatible with any external masthead preamplifier.
Whisper-Quiet Cooling
Conduction-cooled PSUs require no fan for the power section. Main cooling fans measure just 24.8 dBA and 19.3 dBA — near-silent even at maximum speed. Less than 28 dBA overall.
Intelligent Control & Monitoring
High-contrast white OLED with adjustable brightness. Ethernet / web server for full remote control and live monitoring. Sequenced PTT In/Out protects rig, amplifier, and masthead preamp. Fully protected against overdrive, high VSWR, and over-temperature.
