G'day,

Looking for specs on this amplifier:

http://img484.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pa1modzp8.jpg

Don't know much at this stage, apart from 4Watts drive (@ 430-480MHz)=
approx. 150W output, draws well over 30A from my poor struggling power
supply. I'm not game to up the drive any further until I know the specs!

Basically any specs or any info at all would be great, thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Let's take a wild guess here, you want to use it on the UHf Chook Band to
talk into the 5 w output repeaters, if that's the case, and I do hope I'm
wrong, you'd be better off with a decent antenna system,
WRONG, I plan to cause havoc on the remaining analog police repeaters-
ya idiot. There's more to the UHF band than CB radio you know.


You better be CAREFUL as I will dob you into Simone Templar.

I bet that has him wetting himself and quaking in his uggies.

LOL, quite.

Amazing isn't it - cannot discuss power amplifiers in these
Aussie groups without the usual knee-jerk assumptions, irrespective of
being perfectly within the law to own and use in an appropriate manner.
Apparently no Hams here use amplifiers I guess.

You mean there are some Hams left?

BPL is so close to being rejected it's no longer a joke.

I own a very nice Henry thanks , not used for a while but at 400 watts
it doesn't get even beyond warm on tune when running .

Why bother power amplifier related postings in a CB Radio group then ?
state exactly what your using it for and post in the appropiare group.

Just to **** you off, Warren.

state exactly what your using it for and post in the appropiare group.

No. I'm just looking for the specs. That was my query.

Can you define what in your view is an "appropiare" group?
IF you bothered to check the headers, you will see that the OP was
sent to: aus.radio.amateur.misc, aus.radio.cb, aus.radio.scanner,
rec.radio.amateur.equipment

If you believe you know of more "appropiare" groups, or just wish to
drop all pretence and continue developing this into an argument, please
enlighten us all, cheers.

You seem to be the one pushing for an argument, I just can't see why you
would bother posting in CB and Scanner groups, have look here,
http://www.eserviceinfo.com/ there is a lot of Motorola stuff there,

Cheers,

Mate, these groups are inhabited by radio enthusiasts whose interests
don't necessarily begin or end with Amateur radio, CB radio or scanning.

Had I posted with robot-like compliance, I wouldn't have posted the
question at all, since there is no news group for Motorola commercial
equipment. I could use your same logic to not even post it to any of the
amateur radio groups as well.

I think you really do understand why it posted to these groups, it's just
common sense. I wondered before originally posting whether I'd hear from
some pedants, sure enough I did. Oh well, par for the course isn't it...
Some people don't necessarily read whatever groups you feel
are more appropriate, hence cross-posting to a range of radio related
groups.

All I was asking for were the specifications of a piece of radio
equipment, nothing more. But some will never miss an opportunity, no
matter how petty, to have a go at someone over the flimsiest of pretexts.

Thanks for the link Warren, will check it out.

Hello Jasco , I'm going to do something I don't do very often and that is
apologise for jumping to conclusions, I must admit when I read your original
posting I thought, here we go again, some UHf CBer wanting info on a very
high powered Amp, so he can stomp on every one else, for that I do
apologise, in my role as an emergency monitor I get quite a few of the power
heads deliberately interfering with the emergency repeaters which I monitor
daily, I have even had dead set deliberate interference during actual
emergency calls and whilst in contact with the Police Comms Centre, as in,
microphone in one hand and the phone in the other, the Police couldn't
believe what they heard, so I tend to get a bit touchy when it comes to very
high power on UHf CB.

now back to the Amp, I see on the circuit board there is JAS marked in
several places, I'm wondering if this is the manufactures identification, if
so you might get some info from this mob,

Jas Commerical Printers
Products : Printed circuit boards
Address : 38, Bombay Talkies Compound,, Somwari Bazar, N. B. Road, Malad
West,,Mumbai-400064.Maharashtra.
Send : On-Line Trade Inquiry
http://www.easy2source.com/directory..._id=0&Len t=3

I ran a search on the net and came up with that mob, with a bit of luck they
may be the manufactures and should have the info you require, wether the
buggers will give the info is another thing , once again sorry for ****ing
you off,

Cheers,

Warren

Jasco,
Maybe here, more info on MSF5000 if you already haven't got this
link ,
http://www.repeater-builder.com/moto.../msf-tour.html .

The following info has nothing to do with Motorola , but I recently
purchased a Philips 828 back end (25 Watt PA from 828 radio) which has been
modded so as to run a hand held 2 Mtr , there was no info available with it
regarding input power, and me being a silly bugger didn't think to ask the
bloke I bought it from :-) ( Hamfest ), so at first I set the h/h to 5 W
max, the amp output was 25W, then I set the radio to low power, 0.5 W , the
output was then 20 W, so I came to the conclusion to run it at low power 0.5
W, as that would most probably be the safe input power, 5 W input only
raised the output by around 5 W not worth potentially blowing the driver or
something major, unless of course the driver had been changed to a more
robust type ?, in your case, maybe try at 1W then say 3W and see what the
output difference is , if it's only 5 or 10 W on higher input power of 3 W
its probably safe to run it at 1 W input,

Cheers,

Warren
