10 WATTS IN  350 WATTS OUT CONTINUOUS DUTY
THIS UNIT HAS NOT BEEN BEAT UP IN PAGING SERVICE

PREVIOUS OWNER SENT THIS UNIT IN TO TE SYSTEMS BACK IN 04 ( $675.00 , Documentation included/ UNIT HAS ZERO TIME SINCE. TESTED AND WORKING/ 

N1LF purchased this unit about 60 days ago, and has verified it's working great, but it's biased for class C operation, and lacks T/R switching. It would make a great amp for WSJT operation, (EME or Meteor Scatter) where the class C bias isn't a problem. Also great for FM work or it's original purpose as a repeater amp. The unit is housed in a rack mount case, with fans already installed. You can run key down for WSJT operation without any problem at all! 

Those more technical than I could change it's bias to AB and add T/R switching easily enough, but that's out of my league. Tested it with 10 watts in on 144.200 MHz, got a little over 300 watts output. Retuning it and installing beefer power cables should get it up to 350 watts plus easily.  Paid $450 dollars for the unit. I'll take $300, or will trade for a 6 Meter amp. I'll pay shipping too. Paypal accepted. 73-
