[Amps] OM Power Amps

[Bert Almemo]

Hi Jay,
 
Thanks for your comments. Interesting and good points. Yes, I agree -
running SO2R needs 2 amps to be efficient. I'll check out the manual.

Hi Bert,
If you seriously have used SO2R you know that things have to move very fast
between the run and the mult stations your chasing on the second radio.
Literally less then 250 ms switching and doing this hundreds of times. Not
practicle.  The PI-L network that is tuned with the motors would not be able
to do this. Hence that is not part of the feature set for this amplifier.  

As to multiple antenna outputs, that is s sticky wicket.  The amp has built
in relay drivers so you can have many antennas on the same band or other
bands and selected by a well designed external antenna switch, it also can
select your band pass filters for you too without the need for a band
decoder.   Tibi and Jozef are well known CW contesting ops and as such they
have made good selections for price performance.  Take time to read the
manual and I am positive you will see that the features in the amp are well
thought out and they give you access to allot of the internal functions.
Like EBS tweaking to your liking.  You can run the amp from your USB port as
well via an adapter, but it may make more sense to run your amp via the
setups shown in the manual for seamless integration or from the LAN port of
your PC.  OM integrates very well in my SO2R set up with my K3s and Icoms
using Wintest and for DXING with two radios using DX4Win.  

Thanks for checking it out.

OM2000A seems like a nice amp but disappointing to see there is only one
input and one output - no SO2R  and just one antenna output and no USB
connection Would expect more from an amp at the $ 6,000 price level.

Hi Amps list. 
Just joined, since I was told that OM Power's new OM2000A+ was being 
discussed.  This amp sets a new benchmark in price/ performance but I won't 
do any more marketing. Just the answers for the questions asked. 

This amp is now FCC certified and the specs can be seen here

There was some discussion on the OM4000HF (manual) and OM4000A (auto) amp. 
It does have two 240 VAC inputs.  It can be one phase if you have over 32 
amps available just wire a plug with both cords in parallel, or two 20A 
circuits both single phase of course on two 20 amp breakers.  It does not 
require two or three phase power. 

All of these amps come with the proper AC plug used in the US and Canada. 
And of course we will service them as well as ACOM and other amps. 

Hope that clarifies things a bit.
