Input network:
50 Ohm, 200 W HF Resistor, 5 pol. Chebychev Low Pass Filter
Output network:
Inductor 20 uH, Caps: 250 pF var. + 390 pF fixed & 1000 pF var. + 1 nF fixed
Metering: Output, SWR, Plate current, Plate voltage, Screen & Grid current
Computer control of plate current (every 5 msec), SWR and all switching functions:
No relais switching under power conditions
Soft start inrush, 240 sec delay time for full power
Turbine blower with 2 speeds
Well regulated screen and grid supply for +ve and -ve currents as well as current limiting to protect the tube and minimize the IMD. It is impossible to override the screen and grid dissipation at any working conditions
The finish is of high quality black eloxial aluminia
