Specifications
- Input power (3 inputs): 200 W maximum , 50 Ω load, non-switching
- The non-active inputs: grounded
- Output power (5 outputs): 2000 W, 3000 W peak, 50 Ω load, non-switching
- Feedback Output to Input: about -115dB@30MHz
- SWR: Better than 1:1.05, 1 MHz to 30 MHz, Input (Radio) and Output (Antenna)
- Power requirements: 12 Vdc, 11 to 15 V range, up to 250 mA current
- Protection: “Hot Switching” – changing input or output is inhibited if PTT is low (<1 V)
- The PTT (RCA) sockets output a weak voltage of +5 V. When pulled low, the current is about 8 mA.
- ALC negative signal sent to the 3 radios via back to back diodes (if connected)
NOTE:
PTT must be connected for the Hot Switching protection to work
