[AK-VHF] New UHF amp

[Edward R Cole]

Yesterday, I received a RF Concepts 4-310 linear amp in the 
mail.  Its used but amp works fine on UHF.  With 30w drive from the 
venerable FT-736R I'm getting 100w on 432.200 and 130w* on 
446.00.  *Turning down drive to keep at 100w.

The internal preamp does not appear to work and only adding more 
noise but the is non-issue with the fine receiver in the FT-736R and 
the fact I have 432 preamps for use with yagi's once I fix SWR issue.

Current using the ARX-270 11 dBd base vertical antenna.  I have a 
11-element yagi at 58-feet but line has high SWR somewhere.

Running 100w should make UHF doable with stations in Anch. and valley.
