450 W 2m Power Amplifier with Gi7B-Triode

Features:

- Pin-Diode HF Switch, no coax-relay and no sequenzer needed.
- Pin-Diode Switch can be mounted on PA or at the Antenna ( with two coax-cables for RX and TX)
- CPU-Controlled Input-Power, Output-Power and SWR-Protection
- CPU-Controlled Switch-on delay for filemant and highvoltage
- Idle current can be switched of during rx or for FM oder WSJT
