SPE Expert 2K-FA

Product Specifications

• The smallest in its class.
  • Built-in Power supply and Automatic Antenna Tuner.
  • Dimension: L 38, H 18.3, P 43 cm (14.96” W, 7.20” H,16.93” D) (connettors included).
  • Weight: approx: 59.5 lbs (27 kg).
• The most technologically advanced in the world.
  • Two powerfull CPUs are used.
  • Over 35,000 lines of software for performance that cannot be found in any other amplifier.
• Fully Automatic.
  • Easy connection with all models “ICOM, YAESU, KENWOOD, TEN-TEC, FlexRadio ELECRAFT” for immediate management of the bands, tuner and antennas.
  • Same performance with all makes or homemade rigs.
  • The operator has only to move the “Frequency Tuning Knob” in the transceiver!!!
• Wide frequency coverage.
  • 1.8 MHz to 50 MHz including WARC bands.
• Fully solid state.
  • Up to 2 KW pep SSB, CW out; 50 MHz included.
  • MAX / MID (1KW) / LOW (500W) power selected according to the operator SSB/CW power requirement, for digital modes and for linear protection (automatic).
  • No heating time, immediately ready!
  • Virtually limitless life of the amplification devices ((6 MOSFETs MRF151G).
• Automatic Antenna Tuner built-in.
  • Capable of matching 3:1 SWR on HF, and 2.5:1 SWR on 6 meters.
  • Capable of programmable switching of 6 antennas (SO239 connectors).
  • Up to 3 antennas for the same band.
  • Management of the SteppIR / Ultrabeam antennas (tuneable).
  • Measure also the SWR of the antenna / cable system.
  • Bands, Antennas, Tuning conditions are changed in 10 msec.
  • Bands, Antennas and Tuning conditions are managed also in “STBY“ to support the exciter only.
  • Max. attenuation 0.8 dB.
  • Bypass capability.
  • Remotable (option).

• SO2R.
• Two inputs available.
  • SO239 connectors.
• High power gain (up to 14.5 dB).
  • In “OPERATE“ the required drive power is automatically set with an ALC connection and in “STANDBY“ the exciter is then automatically reset to full power.
• Very clean and low distortion output!
  • Spurious emissions less than -60 dB ( 50 MHz –65 dB ).
  • 3rd order distortion (two tone test) 36 dB typ.
• Input 50 ohm always perfectly matched.
  • SWR less than 1.2:1.
• Fully protected.
  • Temperature, Over-Voltage, Over-Current, SWR, Reflected Power, Max RF Tuner Voltage, Over-Drive, Amp. The correct parameters are continuously monitored.
  • The same protection is realized in two different ways:
  • Via hardware circuits (HW) to assure great speed.
  • Via the software (SW), to assure great accuracy.
  • Thanks to the SW, transmit relay changeover is carried out with zero current at the contacts.
• Full break-in operation (QSK).
• Quiet operation.
  • Linear management of the speed of the cooling fans of the heatsink.
  • In the power supply, fans speed is reduced during the reception.
  • Since, considering the big power developed, a significant amount of heat must be removed, every precaution is used to keep the lowest possible the noise of the fans.
• Continuous use.
  • “MAX” mode: SSB / CW unlimited.
  • Automatically switches to “MID” for a while if, in “MAX”, a continuous signal (RTTY) is transmitted.
  • “MID” “LOW” modes, RTTY unlimited.
• Switching power supply.
  • Continous input between 190 – 255 Vac, 47-63 Hz.
  • PFC (Power Factor Correction).
• The linear can be switched ON / OFF also switching ON / OFF the exciter.
• Fully remotable.
• Large LCD displays a greater amount of information.
  • W pep out, V pa, I pa, W, Power gain, Temperatures, SWR (after and before the ATU), Input setting, CAT setting, Band and other indications including an alarms log.
• Easy to operate.
  • Powerful SW gives you a user-friendly unit.
• USB port.
  • For remote control.
  • For new SW releases download.
• Easy transportation.
  • A sturdy carry-bag is supplied for “QSY, FIELD DAY, DX’ PEDITIONS etc.”
• Certifications : CE, FCC.
