I have for sale an amplifier based on the military AM-1565 cavity
(NOTE: this is not an AM-6154/5 amp). This cavity covers from 222-432 Mhz
and runs a pair of 4cx250K tubes. The 4cx250K is the coaxial base version
of the 4cx250 rated for UHF. The modification documents spec this cavity
at 580w output with 60w drive. I do not have enough drive to test for full
output. I am getting 250w on 222 with 25w drive which seems in line with
the 10db rated gain. I tested it once to see if it would tune to 432 and
it did, but it did not produce as much output as 222 (I don't remember what
the output was), may require some work to produce full output at 432. This
amp is a self contained unit, including T/R relays, and runs off of
110v. It is setup for a 19" rack mount, but weighs about 100# so it will
take some muscle to get in a rack. The top of the amp is open and HV is
fully exposed, so you will need to mount it safely in your
location. Includes all modification information and hand written notes I
received when I purchased this amp.
I have used this for several years (mostly in contests), but have upgraded
to 8877 amps on 222 and 432, so I no longer have use for this amp.
$450, pickup in Madera, CA, or I can deliver to the 50 MHz and Up picnic in
a couple weeks. NO SHIPPING.
