2.1 INTRODUCTION
The 2400L RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the 10
KHz to 10 MHz range. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required.
The 2400L produces rated power output at its output connector, regardless of
load impedance. Any power reflected due to output load mismatch is absorbed in
the amplifier. Therefore, although the output impedance is 50 ohms (maximum
VSWR: 1.5:1), the amplifier will work into any load impedance.
