Any Motorola techs in here?
G'day,
Looking for specs on this amplifier: http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pa2modhi7.jpg 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, |

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, Cheers, Warren |

There's more to the UHF band than CB radio you know. |

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. |

Been a few years, but looks like a PA out of either a MSR2000 or MSF5000 repeater. In any case, I'd say you were overdriving it with 4 watts, as indicated by the 150 watts out. Its probably a 100 or 110 watt amplifer. I believe that most Motorola exciters for such amplifiers put out either 1 watt or possibly 2 watts. Ed K7AAT |

G'day Ed, The general consensus is that it did indeed come from an MSF5000, I started a thread over at batlabs just prior to posting to these groups, which has paid off somewhat (see: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopi...&unwatch=topic ) but now of course there is also some conflicting info in the replies... info on Motorola gear can be hard to find! I'll play it safe and keep it below 3W until I get definite confirmation of the specs being different. Cheers |
