INSIDE THE PALOMAR TX-5300A QRP AMATEUR AMPLIFIER

[seedkey]

Just adding another amp for the forum to look at.
I do not see any of these around the net so here goes.

I have 2 of these, one with relays and one built without them.
maybe be forsale or trade for a magnum 4500 or cobra 450XL.

SwitchKit any history on these?

thanks for the amplifier porn . hehe
i like the labeled input and output on the back .
notice the input is also labeled "exciter" !!!

What's the ouput rating on those things? 100 watts? I can't see what the transistors are from those pics. You can see by the bandswitch, how they did the swithable bandpass filtering. It's kind've neat to see how they crammed it all into such a small space.

I do not the actual output rating. I run my uniden grant on it and it keys 4 to 12 watts. I see about 400 watts from the amp on high setting.
the transistors are PT9847

Don't know the amp Seedkey ? although I would guess around 1979 on this one. It's a true Palomar for sure. This amp is surely no class C splatter box !! This amp is more then likely just as good as the amps you mentioned for trade or even better.
