It is better to have as few interruptions in the RF flow as possible. That being said, there is really nothing wrong with using a quality barrel connector to add another length of coax. If you can afford it, just buy enough coax to run all the way between your antenna and xmitter, and you can...
The 36 amp supply is a switching type, and I have had experience with some of those being very noisy with RF hash noise all over the band. Now, bear in mind the switching supply I was using was NOT designed to run radios, so no shielding was involved by the maker. If you have a noisy switching...
But how on earth can the thing be efficient and broad banded at the same time?
That pretty much goes against everything I have ever learned about antennas.
It is supposed to be an exact copy of the old, genuine Palomar amp.
I imagine they call it a 4500 for the same reason Texas Star calls their amp a 399, neither reflecting the actual output of the amp.
I am not entirely ignorant of the over inflated ratings that most manufacturers put on...
Thanks for the link Booty. I pulled the trigger on a Magnum 4500 from H&Y.
(you should call them and ask for a commission :D)
I liked the filtering, narrow-band design, biasing, and not to mention the SSB switch on the front panel. Multiple output dial on the face is nice too.
Now I just have...

Has anyone out there actually tested one of these, are they truly class AB, or B?
Considering the use of a pair of 2SC2879 transistors is the max input about...
