2) Maximum output in FT8 changes from 1 KW to 1.5KW.

3) More efficient dissipation

  • The smallest in its class.
    Built-in Power supply and Automatic Antenna Tuner.
    Dimension: L 38, H 20.3, P 43 cm (14.96” W, 7.87” H,16.93” D) (connettors and rubber feet included).
    Weight: approx: 25 Kg.(55lbs).
  • The most technologically advanced in the world
    Two powerfull CPUs are used.
    Software updated to be always compatible with the new rigs.
  • Fully Automatic
    Easy connection with all models "ICOM, YAESU, KENWOOD, TEN-TEC, FlexRadio ELECRAFT" for immediate management of the bands, tuner and antennas.
    Same performance with all makes or homemade rigs.
    The operator has only to move the “Frequency Tuning Knob” in the transceiver!!!
  • Wide frequency coverage
    1.8 MHz to 50 MHz including WARC bands and 60m.
  • Fully solid state
    Up to 2 KW pep SSB, CW out; 50 MHz included.
    MAX / MID (1KW) / LOW (500W) power selected according to the operator SSB/CW power requirement, for digital modes and for linear protection (automatic).
    No heating time, immediately ready!
    Virtually limitless life of the amplification devices ((6 MOSFETs MRF151G).
  • Automatic Antenna Tuner built-in
    Capable of matching 5:1 SWR on HF, and 2.5:1 SWR on 6 meters.
    Capable of programmable switching of 6 antennas (SO239 connectors).
    Up to 3 antennas for the same band.
    Management of the SteppIR / Ultrabeam antennas (tuneable).
    Measure also the SWR of the antenna / cable system.
    Bands, Antennas, Tuning conditions are changed in 10 msec.
    Bands, Antennas and Tuning conditions are managed also in “STBY“ to support the exciter only.
    Max. attenuation 0.8 dB.
    Bypass capability.
    Remotable (option).
  • SO2R
  • Two inputs available.
    SO239 connectors.
  • High power gain (up to 14.5 dB).
    In “OPERATE“ the required drive power is automatically set with an ALC connection and in “STANDBY“ the exciter is then automatically reset to full power.
  • Very clean and low distortion output!
    Spurious emissions less than -60 dB ( 50 MHz –65 dB ).
    3rd order distortion (two tone test) 36 dB typ.
  • Input 50 ohm always perfectly matched
    SWR less than 1.2:1.
  • Fully protected
    Temperature, Over-Voltage, Over-Current, SWR, Reflected Power, Max RF Tuner Voltage, Over-Drive, Amp. The correct parameters are continuously monitored.
    The same protection is realized in two different ways:
    · Via hardware circuits (HW) to assure great speed.
    · Via the software (SW), to assure great accuracy.
    Thanks to the SW, transmit relay changeover is carried out with zero current at the contacts.
  • Full break-in operation (QSK)
  • Quiet operation.
    Linear management of the speed of the cooling fans of the heatsink.
    In the power supply, fans speed is reduced during the reception.
    Since, considering the big power developed, a significant amount of heat must be removed, every precaution is used to keep the lowest possible the noise of the fans.
  • Continuous use
    “MAX” mode: SSB / CW unlimited.
    Automatically switches to “MID” for a while if, in “MAX”, a continuous signal (RTTY) is transmitted.
    “MID” “LOW” modes, RTTY unlimited.
  • Switching power supply.
    Continous input between 190 – 255 Vac, 47-63 Hz.
    PFC (Power Factor Correction).
  • The linear can be switched ON / OFF also switching ON / OFF the exciter.
  • Fully remotable.
  • With a large LCD display is possible to have a great deal of information
    W pep out, V pa, I pa, W, Power gain, Temperatures, SWR (after and before the ATU), Input setting, CAT setting, Band and other indications including an alarms log.
  • Easy to operate
    Powerful SW gives you a user-friendly unit.
  • USB port.
    For remote control.
    For new SW releases download.
  • Easy transportation
    A sturdy carry-bag is supplied for “QSY, FIELD DAY, DX’ PEDITIONS etc.“.
  • Certifications :
    CE, FCC.

SPE Expert 2K-FA Review: The Amp That Finally Made QRO Effortless

I’ve owned a lot of amplifiers over the years. The last one I ran seriously was the ACOM 1500, and that’s a very good amp—solid, plenty of power, no complaints about what it does. Then I put the SPE Expert 2K-FA in the shack. It isn’t just another step up in watts. It’s a different way of operating.
This is, by a wide margin, the easiest amplifier I have ever used.
Once the antennas are set up, the 2K-FA is essentially instant-tune. Fire up the transmitter, pick the frequency, and start talking. That’s it. No warm-up ritual. No hunting with a tuner while the pileup moves on. No “wait, is this still matched?” moment. It is a genuine game changer when you need to come up on a frequency quickly.
The built-in automatic tuner is the other half of why this amp changed how I operate. On this newer version, the ATU is specified to match loads up to 5:1 SWR. That is not a small detail. It lets me run QRO on my 160-meter loop across 6 through 160 meters. Same amp, same workflow, on the VHQ hexbeam. Two very different antennas, one amplifier that just follows the radio.
That combination—full-legal-limit solid-state power, no-wait readiness, and a 5:1 internal tuner that actually lives with real antennas—is what sold me. I don’t babysit this amp. I operate.
Coverage is 1.8–50 MHz including WARC and 6 meters. Power is selectable MAX / MID / LOW, which is useful for digital modes and for keeping things cool when you don’t need every last watt. Drive is modest, protections are thorough, and the input stays a clean 50-ohm load for the transceiver. Output is clean. Fans stay civil until they’re actually needed.
The 2K-FA is also compact for what it is: integrated power supply and tuner in a relatively small box. Six antenna ports, stored matching data by band/sub-band, CAT integration so band and antenna follow the radio. After setup, the operator’s job really is just to turn the VFO.
I’m not saying the ACOM 1500 is a poor amp. It isn’t. I’m saying that after living with both, the Expert 2K-FA is the one I reach for without thinking. Setup once. Tune stored. Frequency selected. Transmit. That is how QRO should feel.
If you want an amplifier that disappears into the operating position instead of becoming another project on the desk, the SPE Expert 2K-FA is it. For my loop, my hexbeam, and the way I actually get on the air, it has been outstanding.
