It has band pass filters in the output - similar concept to the K2/100. I believe Eric said it is Pi-L. There is no antenna tuner in the amp. N2TK, Tony

There is a rule with the FCC that requires higher drive for full output so other types (CB types) can't put in 5-watts and get out 800 watts. So, the by rule the amp is limited in drive...I think it is 13 db, but I am not sure. The amp is a stand alone and can be used with any rig. It is 80% the size of an Alpha It has a built in antenna tunner. PIN Diode switching and a switching power supply. Fully metered too. Lee - K0WA Common sense is in short supply - get some and use it. If you can't find any common sense, ask for help from somebody that has some common sense. - Lee Buller _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
