Input SSB Signal 10% of full 1.5 KHz Modulation
on / off Ratio 1:9, Interruptions: 30 Hz
Output limited by Software RTTY / CW / SSB:   20 KW / 40 KW / 105 KW
Harmonic Output 50 dB below rated output
IMD 33 dB or better
Tubes Two Eimac 4CX15000A
Input network 1:9 Transformation, 450 Ohm, 500 W HF Resistor, Tube Input Reactance Compensation & Neutralization for each Band
Output network Fixed inductors 2+18 uH, Switch: Multi-Tech Model 92, Vacuum Caps: 500 pF var. / 15 KV + 2500 pF var. / 5 KV
Computer control Plate current (every 5 msec), SWR, all switching functions,
no relais switching under power conditions, soft start inrush, 10 sec delay time for full power, 2 speed turbine blowerWell regulated screen and grid supply for +ve and -ve currents as well as current limiting to protect the tube and minimize the IMD. It is impossible to override the screen and grid dissipation at any working conditions.
