PA500 linear amplifier with integrated automatic antenna tuner for your next adventure.
The complete solution to conquer limitations
unique form-factor
we really like the Discovery TX-500 Transceiver from Lab599. The PA500 is basicly made for the TX-500 but it will work nicly with other Radios as well. The thickness of the PA500 is just 30mm and allows you to operate from anywhere you like.
RF Low pass filters
the PA500 has separate low pass filter banks for the specific band regions. RF Filters made with superior ferrite toroidal cores and precision high voltage glimmer capacitors. The harmonic distortion suppression are >50dB below the carrier signal depends on the selected frequency band.
robust aluminum unibody design
The PA500 body is made of CNC milled durable anodized aluminum, made for extreme operation, perfect for contest work on the go.
