Eric I believe this unit is a Falcon 8252 220 Mhz power amp, 10 watts in, 100 watts out, continuous duty. Production date was around 1989. It uses F1260 devices and a couple of 2N7000 devices on the control board. The rack panel dimension is 8 3/4" x 19". If this is the hardware you have and you need an instruction manual with schematics, I have one for you. Rgds Bruce K7IJ In a message dated 3/14/2009 3:49:44 P.M.

I inherited a bunch of 220 repeater equipment, among which was a rack-mount Falcon Communications MosFET RF Power Amplifier built in Newport Beach, CA. Handwritten on the label is "220 MHz", "4-112A", and "Rebuilt." The amplifier has two Polycore F1260 transistors working in parallel, and the input jack is marked "10 Watts Maximum." I believe that it is rated at 100 watts output. I know that Falcon is out of business, and I suspect that a previous owner may have modified this amplifier from its original 2m band to work on 220. Without any tech data on this unit, I may be wasting my time trying to find out what's wrong with it. I'd like to hear from anyone who has information or suggestions about this amplifier. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY **************Need a job? Find employment help in your area.
