Table 3 Band Frequency Ranges
Caution:
This amplifier has an FCC mandated automatic disconnect and other features
preventing 27-MHz operation
. There is no available circuitry or control provision to
circumvent this lockout.
MARS or CAP Operation
For licensed amateur radio operators participating in Military Affiliate Radio Systems or
Civil Air Patrol, this amplifier is suitable for use on all frequencies between 1.8 and 54
MHz with some precautions. The amplifier will not function between 26 and 28 MHz due
to the required lockout. The upper frequency limits are in bold type in the table above.
Do not operate above the bold-type frequency limits in the table above because PA
(power amplifier) or filter damage may occur.
This amplifier has significantly cleaner output purity than FCC part 97.307 requirements
when operated
inside
all
amateur bands
listed in the table above. Ameritron does not
guarantee harmonic suppression or operation in applications outside standard amateur
radio bands.
Most non-amateur services prohibit use of non-commercial radio equipment. This
amplifier automatically prevents operation between 26 and 28 MHz. Operation in the 26-
28 MHz range is not available with this product, irrespective of licensing or end-use.
