    Special thanks to the folks from RF-kit who attended Hamvention 2022 and allowed me to record this video about this AWESOME Ham Radio Amp. Take a look.

    I pulled the trigger on one, about a week before Hamvention.
    I don't use an amp much, but it's an impressive design with FCC approval.
    • Dual LDMOS devices rated at 3,400 Watts

    This is the website showing the amp completely assembled, the US version

    I'm amazed how quiet and cool my RF-Kit runs at 1350 watts. That's what I run when you hear me.
    I can run easily up to 1500 watts with 40 to 45 watts drive for DX and breaking large pileups.

    You are the one that sold me on the amp.... ..
    and that Orban OPTIMOD-AM 9100B of yours really makes it sound loud

    16 antennas? I wish I could afford this and 2 good antennas. This looks to be the best price point for its capabilities. It is going on my dream list.

    I’ve got one on order too. Will be a nice shack addition. Ordered at hamvention.

    Apparently the warranty is best in the business

    If you get into a problem you can zoom call with the designer /manufacturer Reinhard, directly.

    The competition can’t touch it for the price.

    That's the key to owning an amp. Put up a good antenna first, then you can hear everyone that can hear you.... ..

    May I suggest you either use a shotgun mic or tell all the other people to shut up while you're recording.

    Not everyone CAN put up a good antenna. So sure, put up the best antenna THAT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW.

    For give large though, this one ought to be good. I think I'll settle for my Mercury III once my name comes up, for barely more than half the price.

    Can you actually get that much power out of the amp using a 50 ohm non-inductive load?
