FETs -- gives unequaled no tune
solid state performance. ALS-600, $1599, includes a linear
120/220 VAC, 50/60 Hz AC power supply for home operation.
ALS-600S, $1699, includes a 120/220 VAC portable switching
power supply, just ten pounds.
You get instant bandswitching, no tuning, no warm-up, no fuss!
ALS-600 gives 600 Watts PEP Output power and 500 Watts CW
with continuous coverage 1.5 to 22 MHz; 10/12 Meters with easyto-install optional kit, $29.95 plus shipping. Must present FCC
license at time of sale.
SWR Protection prevents amplifier damage if you switch to the
wrong band, use the wrong antenna or have a high SWR. Overpower protection enables if output forward power or reflected
power exceeds a safe level. Output power is automatically reduced
to prevent amplifier damage by controlling ALC to exciter.
The ALS-600 is extremely quiet. A low speed, low volume fan
is so quiet youll hardly know its there, unlike noisey blowers
used in other amplifiers. ALS-600 is a compact 91/2Wx61/2Hx12D
inches -- takes up less space than your rig! Weighs just 121/2 lbs.
An LED illuminated Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter lets you
read SWR, forward and reflected peak power simultaneously. An
Operate/Standby switch lets you run barefoot, but you can
instantly switch to full power if you need it.
You get a front-panel ALC control! This exclusive AMERITRON feature lets you adjust your output power on the convenient front panel display. You also get front panel Transmit, ALC,
and SWR LED indicators. A 12 VDC output jack lets you power
low current accessories. Enjoy 600 Watts of no tune Solid State

TRP-150 protects
your receiver frontend from high level
RF signals. Use this
for added safety when operating in a multi-station contest environment and when another station is nearby.
Close proximity of a high power transmitter on one antenna can result in a potentially damaging RF signal being applied
to a receiver on a nearby antenna. If both
transmitters are on the same band, the filter on the receiver wont help and receiver
damage can occur. Connecting between
transceiver and antenna, TRP-150 protects
the rig during receiving and automatically
bypasses it during transmitting. SO-239

Quality components are used throughout the
entire unit to ensure maximum life for the sometimes difficult-to-reach switching box.
RCS-4 operates 120 VAC. RCS-4X for
220/240 VAC. RCS-4 allows safe operation with
14 Volts control voltage.
Frequencies 1.5 - 100 MHz are covered by
this excellent station accessory. Handles over
2.5 kW.
Specifications:

The RCS-8V consists of two units -- the
weatherproof switching box that mounts on
your tower or mast and the control unit
thats placed at your operating station.
VSWR is less than 1.2 from DC to 250
MHz and less than 0.1 dB loss at 150 MHz -great for the HF/VHF/UHF operator.
It handles over 5 kW below 30 MHz and
1 kW at 150 MHz. You can ground unused
positions or leave them open.
The indoor control unit is all metal to prevent RFI and TVI. It also has LEDs to indicate the antenna youve selected.
