Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: In the frequency range of 3.5 to 21.0 MHz how much power will the Kenwood T-599 generate and when?’
A: The T-599 generates 200 watts SSB and CW ( 3.5 to 21.0 MHz) 160 watts at 28 MHz and 80 watts for AM.
- Q: I wish to use this equipment for some frequency ranges other than the Band in use, is this possible and if yes what are the tolerances?
A: Yes, for the SSB frequency ranges, using equipment with 3.5 and 7.0 bands will give you a loss of 3 to 10 dB. On the other hand, the 14.0, 21.0, and 28.0 bands will be able to make use of 10 and or 200 Watts.
- Q: What other uses apart from the standard rádio transmission can it be used for?
A: The EER- specific known as the T-599 provides supporting of SSB, CW and for A3J- AM А3 emisssions.
- Q: To what other pieces of radiating equipment can the T-599 be connected and how?
A: The T-599 can connect to a 50 to 75 ohm load; connecting it with an antenna matching network will be highly beneficial.
- Q: What type of electric power input does it accept?
A: The T-599 requires an electricity supply of 115v and a frequency of 50 to 60 Mz.
