EARLY VERSION OF THE AMERITRON ALS-500M
500 WATT SOLID STATE LINEAR AMPLIFIER FOR 80-10 METERS.
this can be easily upgraded to remote or transceiver controlled band changing
using kits sold by MFJ/Ameritron if you want those features.
"A NEW RADIO IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES".
FINDING NO COLD SOLDER JOINTS OR BURNED UP COMPONENTS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE GOOD NEWS.
FIRING UP THE AMPLIFIER ON 40 METERS USING AN IMPROVISED POWER CORD SHOWED NORMAL OPERATION WITH ANY DRIVE LEVEL FROM 5 TO 45 WATTS, WITH THE EXPECTED POWER OUTPUT OF 300 -350 WATTS USING 11.7 VOLTS UNDER LOAD. MFJ STATES OUTPUT WILL BE REDUCED 85 WATTS PER VOLT SO WE EXPECTED 170 WATTS LESS OUTPUT COMPARED TO 13.6 VOLTS... AND THAT IS JUST ABOUT WHAT WE GOT !
