I am going to try this thing out I know that theres no input tuning so radios tuner will have to be used when changing bands. There was supposed to be SD1074 RF Transistors but mine has 4 X 2SC2290 thats the way I got it.
Anyways I see that its 3-4 watts input for AM / FM but what should run for input on SSB?? Im guessing no more than 20 watts?? I remember a guy telling me on 80 meters oneday when we got into talking about these true Palomars amplifiers that I should use no more than 30 watts input SSB.
Im thinking that 10 - 12 would keep it clean and not pound the hell out of this amplifier and the band I would be operating on.sure is a neat amplifier and I would expect to see 250-300 watts. Im thinking this would work well with our Kenwood TS-50 because it has the AT-50 tuner.
I can only find very little information on this amplifier here Palomar Electronics Corp. Model TX-5200
