General description and advantages of the OM3501A amplifier
The OM3501A automatic linear amplifier is designed for all shortwave amateur bands from 1.8 to 29 MHz (including WARC bands) and all modes. It features a piece of GU78B ceramic tetrode.
The advantages of OM3501A:
Full compatibility with TRXs-CAT
- I'M COMING
- YAESU
- ELECRAFT
- Ten-Tec Orion
- Kenwood
- Icom transceive protocol via microHAM devices - CI-V output (MK II, MK2R, MK2R+, etc.)
- Flex Radio Series 6xxx
- Apache Labs Anan
RF sensitive band and frequency switching, for use with radios that do not have CAT
Automatic switching between bands
Automatic tuning with the band based on segments
Automatic band pass filter switching - BAND DATA output compatible with YAESU radios (BCD code)
Automatic switching of antenna switches - maximum number of antennas is 10, controlled by BCD output code
Remote control via PC Windows application
