RF Kits amplifier question

[FlatlandBusa]

Does anyone know if the RF kits B26-PA RF2K-S amplifier will run on 11 meters? Some of the newer computer controlled linears are software locked for 11. Thanks in advance.

I would ask manufacturer

The specs for the amp should give you the answer...........

The Spec sheet says 1.5-30 and 50-54 MHz listed.
Also says it's FCC approved, so the software may very well lock it out.
Good luck

I have stopped in at their booth at the Dayton Hamvention. Friendly guys, always ready to answer questions. Never have asked them that question.

They're in Germany. They're bound to have customers outside the USA who can legitimately use 27 MHz.

Still, a lot of money to gamble without a definitive answer.

Thank you for all the replies, I was hoping to avoid calling the manufacture as running an FCC approved linear on 27Mhz is generally frowned on by some hams. I would still get the amp for the rest of the bands I run and 27Mhz would be an added bonus.

So far no reply from the manufacturer or island amplifier...

I would say NO.
They can't get FCC certification for an amplifier to be sold in the U.S. if the amplifier can operate on 11 meters.
Why would you be interested in operating this amplifier on 11 meters anyway ?

They can't get FCC certification for an amplifier to be sold in the U.S. if the amplifier can operate on 11 meters.

They can have the famous green wire (or equivalent) that needs cutting for ten meters.
I am sure they have lots of customers outside the US that want this feature.
