Showing how the OM-Power Automatic amplifiers like the OM-2500A, OM-4000A, can control the selection of up to ten antennas driving an antenna switch and up to ten filters. A Vector Network Analyzer, Array Solutions’ VNA UHF is plotting the S21 (Filters Insertion Loss) continually.
The OM2500A linear amplifier is designed for all short wave amateur bands from 1.8 to 29.7 MHz (including WARC – bands ) and all modes. It is equipped with the ceramic tetrode FU-728F.
The advantages of OM2500A:
- Automatic switching between bands
- Automatic tuning with the band according to segments
- Automatic switching of band pass filter
- Automatic switching of the antenna switch
- The possibility to use 2 different antennas within one band or segment
-
Full compatibility with
- – ICOM
- – YEASU
- – ELECRAFT
- – Ten-Tec Orion
- – Kenwood
- – Icom transceiver protocol using by microHAM devices, CI-V output (MK II, MK2R, MK2R+, etc)
