RF2K-S HF Power Amplifier
The RF2K-S power amplifier offers a solid output of 1500 watts on the amateur radio bands from 1.8 MHz to 54 MHz. Its features are impressive compared to other power amplifiers:
- Highest spectral purity of the transmit signal due to dual LDMOS transistors
- Very quiet operation due to speed-controlled, low-noise fans
- 7” color touch screen
- Multiple graphical user interfaces selectable by the user
- -55 dB output for predistortion
- Automatic band switching through frequency measurement
- CAT connection via USB (the USB port is provided by the Raspberry Pi®)
- CAT data over IP (UDP and TCI)
- LAN connection
- WiFi (client mode)
- Very quiet switching power supply 90-290 V/AC
- Precise power display (from 1 W to 2 kW)
- Software update via the Internet
- Remote operation via the Internet with a PC, tablet or smartphone (supported platforms: Apple IOS, Android, Linux and Windows)
- External power/ON by applying +12 V
- BCD band data output for controlling external devices (e.g. bandpass filter switching)
- BCD data input for external antenna switch
- Integrated automatic antenna tuner with an almost unlimited number of memory locations, also for the settings of up to 16 antennas provided by an external antenna switch
- Sleep mode for lower power consumption
