PA500 linear amplifier …it is made for HAMs by HAMs
Automatic band selection compatible to most Transceivers CAT/ACC Interface support
PA500 linear amplifier tailored for adventures and extremes signatured aluminum unibody robust outstanding quality
performance
covers most HAM SW Bands RF Power up to 80W integrated automatic tuner
unique form-factor
we really like the Discovery TX-500 Transceiver from Lab599. The PA500 is basicly made for the TX-500 but it will work nicly with other Radios as well. The thickness of the PA500 is just 30mm and allows you to operate from anywhere you like.
RF Low pass filters
the PA500 has separate low pass filter banks for the specific band regions. RF Filters made with superior ferrite toroidal cores and precision high voltage glimmer capacitors. The harmonic distortion suppression are >43dB below the carrier signal depends on the selected frequency band.
Robust aluminum unibody design
The PA500 body is made of CNC milled durable anodized aluminum, made for extreme operation, perfect for contest work on the go.
integrated automatic antenna tuner
the PA500 has an integrated automatic antanna tuner for most of the operating frequencies to tune a suitable antenna between the 80m and 10m band.
