TMC PAL-IK Linear Power Amplifier

PRODUCT INFORMATION

• The TMC Model PAL-1K!s a conservatively rated Linear Power Amplifier delivering 1,000 watts PEP SSB or 1000 Watts CW and FS throughout the frequency range of 2 to 32 mes.
• The PAL-LK is completely band-switched and continuously tunable with all controls on the front panel. There are no plug-in components. The final is Pi-tuned and in­corporates a ceramic tube for increased efficiency. ALDC (Automatic
• Load and Drive Control) and inverse feedback are used to improve linearity and suppress unwanted transmission products.
• The PAL-1Kconsists of three (3) units, an RF Amplifier (TMC Model RFD), a low voltage power supply (TMC Model PS-4) and a high voltage power supply (TMC Model PS-5).
• Although the PAL-LKis deis signed primarily for single sideband service, it may, with suitable exciters, be used for many types of emission,
