BEKO HLV-523. 23 cm RF Power Amplifier
“Designed for the serious Weak Signal, EME, Digital, & Contest Operation!”
The BEKO HLV-523 employs advanced German-engineered, solid-state technology to deliver instant on, no compromise performance. The HLV-523 features full mismatch load protection by an integrated circulator. In addition, the RF output relay can be included for additional cost.
The HLV-523 is the ideal amplifier for contest, portable, EME & home station operation due to its small foot print and light weight. BEKO amplifiers are “the best of the best” VHF UHF & SHF high-power linear amplifiers available worldwide!
HLV-523 Features:
* Instant on, no warmup is needed. Don’t miss the opening!
* No tuning required
* WSJT / FT8, Digital Mode at rated output
* New, super-fast, accidental-overdrive / spike protection up to 150W
* Built-in IMD indication
* Extremely High efficiency
* VSWR, overdrive and temperature protection
* Drive power is 7 watts nominal.
An integrated sequenced voltage to control external mast-mounted preamplifiers is provided. A built in Bias-T allows the preamp voltage to be injected onto the coaxial cable. For those preamplifiers that can’t be powered via the coax and require a separate VDC cable, the sequenced voltage is available via a back panel connection. As with all Beko Elektronik amplifiers, a front panel switch allows the user to select external preamp on/off function thus allowing the preamplifier to be switched in-line or off-line. See us for suitable mast-mounted preamplifiers.
