It's a MICOR VHF 100-Watt continuous-duty rated PA Deck, for the 150.8 to 162 MHz Range. The input power is about a half watt (actually 0.4 watts) for typically 100 watts out. Your best bet is to get a MICOR manual to see how to set it up. The actual PA circuit board is the same in the MICOR continuous duty stations, intermittent duty stations, and even in the 100-watt mobile radio.
Just in case you're going to use it in the 2-Meter ham band, you probably want to convert it to the 136-150 MHz range as a TLD1692 Series amp would be. Otherwise it will eventually start oscillating and burn itself up. But the conversion is a big job - I've done 4 or 5 of them over the years - you almost strip the circuit board and repopulate it with the correct 2M range caps, coils, transformers, variable caps and resistors. The parts from Motorola weren't inexpensive, either. But at the time, it was either rebuild them or do without, so I rebuilt the receiver, exciter and PA deck to be actual 2-Meter range units as Motorola had designed. It has been well worth the work in the great performance they've provided all these years. I wouldn't do it again now that I have found a bunch of actual TLD1692s over the last few years on the internet, and I've bought them when they were offered to keep as spares for my 2M Repeaters. Of course now that I have several spares of everything, nothing ever fails (except the controllers!)

It is a Motorola Micor Amp, TLD1693E Amp. Does any one know the power input requirement and what the power output should be on this amp. Also the SWA goes to ground to key the amp, how would I be able to find a circuit inside the exciter that goes to ground, or what would be the easiest way to make a switch for this to key up when the COS is opened. Currently my COS is high. Any ideas. Thanks. Mathew Yahoo!
