AP-525V VHF Power Amplifier

The AP-525V Power Amplifier provides 50W of RF power on the 30-108 MHz band to the MT-525 radio docking stations, extending the radio’s range with a very compact design.
The AP-525V is a linear amplifier fully compatible with EID's PRC-525 and R&S' M3TR VHF modulations and waveforms, like fast frequency hopping, OFDM (72 kbps) and analog and digital fixed frequency.
Several power levels can be selected from the radio and continuous monitoring of several parameters is available, the anomalies being shown on the radio display.
The AP-525V provides separated output connectors for HF, VHF and UHF bands to enable operation with external HF and UHF power amplifiers.
Full protection against several adverse situations, including antenna open and short circuits, is provided as well.
An optional fast hopping capable Cosite Filter can be fitted in the same housing, providing excellent co-location characteristic and allowing simultaneous transmission and reception on the same vehicle, thus using closely located antennas, without noticeable reduction of performance.
