COMPACT DESIGN


The Afracal 1k is the most compact 1 kW HF amplifier on the market, occupying only 3U in a 19” rack configuration.






SET-UP


Set-up is automatically controlled by the connected radio.





COOLING


Continuous operation even in the most demanding environments is ensured by liquid cooling. The overall size is reduced due to the superior cooling resulting in a market leading size of only 3U. This is ideal for compact base and naval systems.











DATA


High data rates can be maintained due to the exceptional linearity. 






POWER SUPPLY


The Afracal 1k amplifier can operate on 110 - 220VAC or can be provided  in a 48V DC version with external power supply. The connected radio is supplied with a stable 12VDC simplifying power supply configurations and reducing cabling.











ATU


The Afracal 1k - RF Amplifier facilitates a connection to external high power antenna tuners converting radio RS232 to robust RS485 control signals for extended installation distances between the amplifier and the tuner.






INSTALLATION


The amplifier is designed to be mounted in a 19” Rack but is also available as a table top version. Purpose built base station and vehicular mount racks are available.
