Overview

RM ITALY MLA100 HF Amplifiers

RM ITALY MLA100 HF Amplifiers cover all Amateur bands, 160 through 6 meters, providing up to 100 watts output on HF and 80 watts on 6 meters with only 5 watts maximum RF input. They are the perfect choice for medium power operations with today's very capable, low power (QRP) radios, including many brands of portable and SDR transceivers. The MLA100 features PIN diodes for very fast receive-transmit-receive switching am seamless QSK CW fast break-in operation. Band selections are automatically detected and switched or may be set manually. Front panel LEDs display power output and SWR simultaneously on dual bar graphs. MLA100 amplifiers have built in protection from excessive input power, high temperature and high SWR.

The MLA100 is a clean and capable standard solid state linear amplifier using two robust Mitsubishi RD1000HHF1 MOSFETs built into a massive, chassis-sized heatsink.

The MLA100V is the same amplifier unit with the addition of an externally mounted fan.

Both MLA100 and MLA100V HF Amplifiers require 13.8 Vdc at 20 A maximum, and feature a rear panel 20A ATC fuse and DC power quick connector. Also on the rear panel are Input and Output SO-239/UHF female RF connectors and a female RCA phono "PTT" for amplifier keying. Their chassis measure 190 x 182 x 78mm x (7.48 x 7.17 x 3.07 in.) and weigh 1.4kg (3.1 lbs.).

*** Note: Amplifier Color may vary.

PLEASE NOTE: This amplifier is intended to be used with a low power (QRP) transceiver that is capable of an RF output of approximately 5 watts maximum. DO NOT USE this amplifier with radios that are capable of 100 watts output. Even when output power is turned down, many 100 watt transceivers send out an instantaneous high power RF pulse that will blow out the Solid State final transistors of this amplifier. Damage to final transistors due to RF pulse and overdrive is NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. It is the owner's responsibility to use this amplifier properly, with a low power radio that cannot accidently damage the amplifier. Cost of repair of amplifiers with blown finals will be charged to the customer or will be deducted from the refund of returned amplifiers with blown finals.
