RM Italy HLA-150v Amplifier

[Mudfoot]

Very nice amp. Been using it with my ELAD FDM-Duo. It has never seen anymore than 5 watts input. It works great and gets good reports. It covers 1.8-30 MHz. I'm only selling to pay for another amp I just purchased. This is the third HLA-150 I have owned. I ran my 817 and FLEX-1500 with them. Always had good luck with them. This one has 3 fans that keep everything cool.

I'm seeing 100-120 watts pep. It can do a little more, but output starts to get dirty.

The link shows pics and info. Mine is basically new looking. The warranty seals is intact.

Hi Mudfoot Help me out here. What is the attraction to this amp? Specs say 150W max. You're getting 100-120. So why the high price on these things new ? On the surface, I can't see paying that kind of money for 100 watts ???

Because it works on muti bands I would guess

Works 1.8-30 MHz with low input for QRP rigs. Has decent filtering for clean signal. It will do more output for me, but will start getting dirty if I push it harder. Auto or manual band switching. It's a cheaper alternative than other amps marketed towards QRP. I should have stated I'm running it at 100-120. It will do the full output. I just don't push it.

Is this amp the no fans or with fans version?

 

[Mudfoot]

Two fans.

I've had two of these in the past. This one has the new color scheme. I don't believe any internals have been changed. The fans are different, though. The others had metal grills on top. These are all plastic and are a good bit quieter than the earlier ones. Like the others, it has input and SWR protection circuitry.
