Mirage B-320-G

 

 
The Mirage B-320-G is a VHF power amplifier designed for 2 
meters covering 144-148 MHz.  The “Hi” and “Lo” input selector 
switch makes this amp useable for both handheld and mobile 
transceivers.  Features include all mode compatibility 
(FM/SSB/CW), wrap-around  heat sink, high gain GaAsFET 
preamplifier, and user selectable input: 
--”Lo” for Handheld radios-- 250 mW to 10 Watts 
--”Hi” for Mobile radios-- 10 Watts to 50 Watts 
 

FEATURES 
 

1.  High output power of 200 watts 
 

200 watts is achieved with 250 mW to 10 Watts input 

on   

“Lo” or 10 Watts to 50 Watts input on “Hi”. 

 
2.  All mode compatibility (FM/SSB/CW) 
 

In the SSB mode the time constant of the Voice  

 

Operated Transmit (VOX) relay is set to approximately 

 

one second to prevent annoying relay chatter 

 

during conversation, and achieving smooth SSB 

 transmission. 
 
3.  Wrap-around heat sink 
 

The heat sink and combined case, by original design  

 

is used for excellent heat dissipation as well as a 

 

new smart appearance. 

 
4.  “Lo” Input power from 250 mW to 10 Watts 
 

With an input power of 10 Watts maximum on “Lo” , the 

 

Mirage B-320-G is compatible with most modern 

handheld  

and mobile transceivers. 

 
 
5. “Hi” Input power from 10 Watts to 50 Watts
