Lou Franklin Amplifier Kit

Post by bill »

Hi All ,
I came across someone who has some of the original Lou Franklin design printed circuit boards , designed about 20 years ago . When they are gone , they are gone .... He also has some pre-wound RF transformers and other parts , equiptment , etc ...
* Broadbanded ( 3 - 30 MHz ) push-pull design . No tuning required after a simple one-time setup procedure .
*Three power levels : 60W - 100W - 120W AM / FM ( 100W - 140W - 180W PEP ) , Depending on choices of transistors when building .
*Trimmer adjustable input / output tuned circuits for perfect SWR matching . Just set it and forget it .
*All Mode Operation : AM / FM / CW / SSB
*Internal SWR protection with rugged Motorola or Toshiba transistors .
*Bias switching lets you choose the most efficient method for Class C ( AM / FM / CW ) or Class AB ( SSB ) operation .
*Carrier operated T / R relay with seperate drop-out timing delays to automatically match AM / FM or SSB operation .
*Switchable ON / OFF operation with LED indicator .
*Jumper adjustable input network matches 4W - 10W RF drive levels for most popular transcievers .
*Transient spike protection in mobile use .
*Double-sided PCB design for excellent RF stability and voltage regulation
* Operates on 12 Volts ( Seperate power supply needed )
The cost to complete this amp would be around $150.00 , depending on the cost of the transistor pair you choose .
From what I hear this is a super amp ...... Read the features .....
