SPE Expert 1.5K-FA Linear Amplifier 1.5 KW Solid State Fully Automatic Linear Amplifier Third Series/ No ATU

 1.3 KW Solid State Fully Automatic Linear Amplifier Third Series NO ATU

• • The smallest in its class:
    Built-in Power supply
    Dimension: L 28, H 14, P 38 cm ( 11.02” W, 5.51” H, 14.96” D ) connectors and rubber feet included.
    Weight without ATU 7.5 Kg.(16.5lbs)
   
  • The most technologically advanced in the world:
    Two powerful 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, FLEX-
    RADIO, ELECRAFT" for immediate management of the bands, tuner and
    antennas.
    Same performance with all makes and some homemade rigs.
    The operator only has to move the “Frequency Tuning Knob” of the transceiver.
   
  • Wide frequency coverage:
    1.8 MHz to 50 MHz including WARCs.
    60 m band, where permitted.
   
  • Fully solid state:
    Solid 1.3 KW out; HF (+/- 0.5 dB), 50 MHz (+/- 0.8 dB).
    Switchable in MAX (full power), MID (900W) or LOW (500 W), power selected
    according to the operator’s requirement or automatic for amplifier protection.
    No warmup time, immediately ready!
    Virtually limitless life of the amplification device.
    Only one LD / MOSFET used rated of 1.5 KW out.
   
  • NO Auto tuner
    
   
  • SO2R.
   
  • Two inputs available:
    SO239 connectors.
   
  • High power gain standard version or 15 dB FCC version:
    In “OPERATE“ the required drive power is automatically set with the ALC
    connection.
    In “STANDBY“ the exciter is automatically reset to full power.
   
  • Very clean and low distortion output:
    Spurious emissions FCC / CE / RCM (c-Tick) compliant.
    3rd order distortion (two tone test) from -30 to -35 dB typ.
   
  • Input 50 ohm always perfectly matched:
    SWR sempre migliore di 1.2:1
   
  • Protections:
    Temperature, Voltage, Current, Reflected Power, SWR, Max Power, RF Voltage on the ATU etc. are constantly monitored.
    The protections are realized in two different ways:
    - hardware circuits (HW) to assure great speed.
    - software (SW), to assure great accuracy.
    Due to the sophisticated software, the transmit relay changeover is carried out with
    zero current on the contacts.
   
  • Full break-in operation (QSK).
   
  • Quiet operation:
    Linear management of the speed of the cooling fans.
    The amplifier develops a significant amount of heat that must be removed.
    Therefore, every precaution is taken to keep the fan noise at the lowest possible
    level. Fan noise is significantly lower than the tube type amplifiers.
   
  • Use:
    Full I.C.A.S. in SSB and CW.
    In FM and for all digital modes currently in use, the amplifier automatically
    switches to "MID" if for 3 sec. a continuous signal is emitted in "MAX"
   
  • Switching power supply:
    Continuously operable at inputs between 100 – 255 VAC, 47-63 Hz.
    (100-120 VAC may cause slightly reduced output power).
    PFC (Power Factor Correction).
   
  • The linear can be switched ON / OFF by switching the exciter ON / OFF.
   
  • Can be operated fully remotely.
   
  • With a large LCD display, it is possible to have a great deal of information:
    Watts pep out, Vpa, Ipa, Watts, temperatures, SWR (after and before the ATU),
    input setting, CAT setting, band and other indications including the alarms log.
   
  • Easy to operate:
    Powerful and sophisticated software gives you a user-friendly unit.
   
  • USB / RS232 ports:
    For remote control.
    For load new software releases.
   
  • Easy transportation:
    A sturdy carry-bag is supplied for QSY, FIELD DAY, DXpeditions etc.
   
  • Certifications:
    CE, FCC, RCM (C-Tick)
