James, KF6RFX asked: We are looking for a UHF amplifier (430-440MHz) for a transceiver to go from 10 mW to ~ 75W. Most of the amps were are funding require a much stronger input power than we can do. Note, it's a transceiver, so we want to be able to receive through the system as well. This

James, I do not see any amps that would meet your requirements. There are several intermediate types that would boost the 10mw@430mhz to enable you to use this low power driving another PA after that to meet 75watts output. It seems that you should invest in a normal mobile or handheld xcvr that

Hi James. That is a lot of gain. 10mW to 75W is around 38dB. If I had this as a problem, I would consider putting two amplifiers together. For example http://www.mirageamp.com/pdffiles/D-1010-N.pdf But include a small amplifier 'brick' to get the drive up from 10mW. Perhaps the M57721M from RF

James, Check out www.rfparts.com They have several low power amps, 10mw to 7 W most likely you will need two amps to get to the 75 watt level Select one that is class AB use an attenuator in between amps. Art, KC6UQH -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org
