An amplifier only increases the output power of a given input signal, it can not produce an FM signal whereas a transmitter or an exciter creates the FM signal at a suitable power level for possible further amplification by an RF amplifier. Our newest PLL kit design. Using wideband monolithic components from Minicircuits, this PLL covers the entire broadcast band by setting the 10 position dip switch. Only two tuning points to peak the power. This kit comes partially assembled with the surface mount components soldered on.
Audio input is high impedance, line level.
The RF output transistor is a heavy duty type, not the lighter duty type found in most comparable kits. Great for boosting lower power VFOs and low power Ramsey FM-10 type kits. Uses a rugged 6 watt transistor. It is designed to boost to 1 watt transmitters to a bit higher output power, producing up to 8 watts of output power. A very small and compact circuit measuring 3 x 1 inches.
