High Power Amplifiers

Codan's Power Amplifiers are reliable, affordable and designed to be used with our NGT transceivers. The 3061 provides 500 W; the 3062 delivers 1 kW PEP output power; and both are ideal for voice and data operation.

Key Features :

  • NGT transceiver interface

    Codan’s NGT transceivers provide you with a simple interface to control and operate the Power Amplifiers.

  • Continuous mode operation

    The amplifiers are rated for 100% continuous operation in all modes for either voice or data applications.

  • High efficiency

    Advanced switched mode power supplies maximise efficiency of the amplifiers and reduce heat.

  • Protection and backup

    Codan’s Power Amplifiers are fully protected against all load conditions and excessive heat sink temperatures.

  • Antenna tuner interface

    The amplifiers provide an interface to control an external antenna tuner or coupler.

  • Amplifier cooling

    Amplifier cooling

    For increased reliability and durability, fans are thermostatically controlled and operate on two speeds depending on the heatsink temperature.

  • Rack mounting

    Both amplifiers and associated power supply units can be used in 19" rack mount configurations and are 5RU high.
