OM Power OM-4001AMARS HF Plus MARS 1,500W+ Auto Tune Linear Amplifiers (OMR-OM-4001A-MARS) features two FU-728F Ceramic Tetrode tubes capable of providing stable, full legal limit all-mode output power and frequency coverage of the Amateur bands ranging from 1.8 to 29.7MHz. CW enthusiasts enjoy QSK – full break-in operation. The Intuitive 4.3-Inch color Touch Screen and front panel indicators allow you to stay informed about the operational status of the amplifier and effortlessly gain access to advanced features and settings. Full band change or frequency reading compatibility is built in for modern transceivers and RF Sense band change supports legacy transceivers. The OM-4001AMARS supports automatic antenna switching for up to 10 antennas. Remote Control operation is supported via LAN (Ethernet) and freely available PC program download. The OM-4001AMARS is considered one of the most compact, rugged and capable 1500W+ HF auto tune amplifiers on the market.

The OM Power OM-4001AMARS Amplifier features an arsenal of protection circuits that will guard against high SWR, excessive current, voltage errors, excessive temperatures and more. A mechanical safety switch provides “switch-on” blocking and protects the user from potential hazards by not allowing the amplifier to power on when the case is opened. These amplifiers are also equipped with safety devices to ensure that the output relay is not mistakenly switched under power (hot switching). Built-in Memory for faults and warnings makes troubleshooting a breeze and helps to quickly identify issues and resolve them, ensuring uninterrupted performance. With built-in Automatic Anode Current (BIAS) Adjustment, there is no need to make complicated manual adjustments in the unlikely event that the tubes need to be replaced.

The 2-speed centrifugal fan and external axial fan provides the necessary cooling of the amplifier, even during long contests. The blower is activated by switching the PA on and it is turned off when cooling is finished (approx. 1-5 min after switching off the PA depending on the temperature of the tube) and the blower function is programmable with up to 3 modes.

Remote operation is supported via LAN port (Ethernet) and PC program download, enhancing control of the amplifier. The user can remotely switch the amplifier ON and OFF, switch between STBY and OPERATE, switch between pre-programmed antennas, read and reset the last 20 warnings and fault messages, manually fine tuning of the PA Tune and Load, check operating parameters, selection for PC display of the amplifier screen and antenna retuning if parameters change.
