WARNING !
IMPORTANT NOTICE
FCC type acceptance requirments prohibit sales of amplifiers operating below 144 MHz with internal RF sensing circuits that place the amplifier in a transmit mode. Because of those rules. this amplifier is not shipped with an internal RF activated relay system.
You are, as a licensed amateur radio operator, allowed to make those modifications yourself.
DO NOT connect this amplifier to a radio without connecting an external control line for the internal relays. If the pre-amplifer is turned on, and transmitter power is applied without an external relay control line, pre-amplifier will be damaged.
If you have any questions about the operation of this amplifier, contact Mirage at (601) 323-8287 before attempting to use this amplifier.
A-1015-G Instruction Manual |
6 Meter R.F. Amplifier |
A-1015-G
The Mirage A-1015-G is the next generation of Power Amplifiers for 6 meters. New features make it the most useful and versatile amplifier available. Features include automatic power shut-down circuitry for protection against high antenna VSWR, high temperature and excessive R.F. power input. A newly designed GaAsFET receive preamp provides high gain and low-noise amplification for weak signal applications. The pre-amp includes an attenuator to reduce signal output level. This is useful in preventing Receiver Overload and subsequent Intermodulation Distortion caused by strong signals. Provisions are made for automatic or remote (external) keying, and for remote control of all front panel functions using the Mirage RC-1 Remote Control Unit. The Mirage A- 1015-G is capable of FM, SSB, and CW operational modes.
