It has a switch for on/off (power) - and without looking at it - the other I believe either for the receive pre-amp OR AM/SSB operation. There is no "band select" switch on it. This amplifier is for 11 meters. And also 11/3 meters and 11/5 meters too of course. I can't find a lick of info on this amp - have googled a couple times. Any hits I got were non-informative - unless I missed one. Look for "Alabama Pillbox" and see if that's what you've got. The "Transformer" in this thing is hefty and probably constitutes about 3/4 of the weight of the Amp. Aside from the Tranny - there is a PC board, the cabinet, connectors - thats about it. I had always thought of trying to get the Tranny info - and "maybe" - seeing if there was a possibility for a "multi-band" amp. Is it intended for AC use or for 12V use? If it's for 12V use, the transformer and inverter circuit may be useful for something. If it's for AC power, the transformer is probably the only part worth salvaging. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." Scott, It is for 120VAC. That is pretty much what I had said - the transformer and cabinet. The Cabinet would make for a nice homebrew power supply or something. Maybe - depending on the transformer - can use it for the same project! This transformer is pretty hefty. It is about 2/3 the weight of the Amp. It is a piece of cb junk, I wouldn't put it on the air. It can't go there - "anymore"! |
