Topband: [Amps] RF-KIT SS AMP

[Charlie Young]

Tim, thanks for that info.

On an unrelated topic, I am working on a big project here and needed some last minute supplies that are not available locally.  Ordered the needed material from DX Engineering and it was here today in WV, the next day after I placed the order.  Fantastic service that moved my project along on schedule (4 x 7 el 6M EME array).  Same for my low band rx supplies last fall.  Fantastic service.  Thanks to your staff.

I have talked to them SINCE Dayton.

LPF IS INCLUDED - pay no attention to the web page.

Hello Jim,

Read the web page on it, it says no LPF as well as a few other items are
missing.

I built one from the Russian guys and I am happy with it, but you will be
suppressed on how many things you will have to build and add to the mix.

It most certainly does include a LPF! I also talked to them at Dayton. A
built in tuner is an option.

Seems to me the kit without the tuner was around $2600.00

It is also missing LPF (Low Pass Filter) and that is most important, You
will need a minimum of 6 filters. Additionally you will need either a 6
position wafer switch or will need to build communication path to you your
exciter for filter selection. Perhaps other hardware.

With all of the discussion recently about SS amps, here
is one that might be worth checking out:

http://rf-kit.de/en/2k_Kit.php

RF-KIT, a firm based in Germany, was exhibiting a legal-limit HF Amplifier
Kit at the Hamvention. The unit on display was using two LDMOS power devices
and sported a 7" color touchscreen for amplifier control and status. The kit
includes everything necessary to build the amplifier except the Raspberry Pi
3 CPU, and three fans. The company's literature states that it can be built
in less than a day.
