Step-Start Inrush Protection When you first turn on your amplifier, a massive inrush current flows. It also lets you rapidly retune to your favorite frequency. Ball bearing venier reduction drives with logging scales on both the plate and load controls make tuning precise and easy.

Pi/Pi-L Output Network A carefully designed Pi/Pi-L output network using the optimum Q for each band gives you exceptionally smooth tuning, extremely wide matching range, full band coverage and peak performance at all power levels. Low loss slug tuned coils - tunable from the rear panel - let you optimize performance. Even the fussiest solid state transmitter will deliver full power to your AL-80B. Tuned Input lets your rig deliver full output A 50 ohm broadband Pi-Network tuned input is used. A whisper quiet internal fan draws in cool air over power supply components and pressurizes the 3-500 tube compartment to remove heat for longest life. You power goes into your antenna instead of heating up your amplifier. Superb RF design and layout, Hi-Q tank circuit and commercially rated RF power components give you nearly 70% plate efficiency over most of the amateur bands.

It has a separate RF compartment thats fully shielded to keep RF from leaking out. Genuine 3-500ZG Tube The AL-80B uses a genuine 3-500ZG tube warranted by the manufacturer - not cheaper, less reliable 3-500s used by some competitors.ħ0% efficiency The AL-80B is built on a rugged steel chassis. Many amplifiers using two 3-500s use such small power supplies they dont deliver much more power output than the AL-80B. A 26 pound transformer using a high silicone steel core, computer grade capacitors, heavy duty bleeders and ten 3 amp, 1000 V power rectifiers give you a stiff 2700 volts fully loaded. Guts Heavy-Duty Power Supply The guts of the AL-80B is its heavy duty power supply. it eliminates hundreds of watts wasted as heat to give you cooler operation and longer component life. Instantaneous RF Bias eliminates heat The AL-80Bs exclusive Instantaneous RF Bias completely turns off the 3-500 tube (except filaments) between words and dots and dashes. A convenient front panel control lets you adjust your output power level. It maximizes your talk power without distortion and splatter. When activated, it can more than double your average SSB power and produce up to 6 dB improvement in intelligibility.

You get up to 1000 watts output on SSB, 800 watts output on CW, 500 watts output on RTTY, an extra heavy duty power supply, genuine 3-500 tube, nearly 70% efficiency, tuned input, Pi/Pi-L output, inrush current protection, multi-voltage transformer, dual Cross-Needle meters, QSK compatibility, Two Year Warranty, Made in USA, plus much more.ĭynamic ALC doubles average SSB power The AL-80Bs exclusive Dynamic ALC gives you high-level low-distortion RF processing. Covers all bands 160-15 meters, including WARC and MARS (user modified for 10/12 meters with license). Its a compact 8.5" x 15.5" x 14.5" and plugs into your nearest 120VAC outlet. You get up to a full kilowatt PEP output from a whisper quiet desktop linear. It saves hundreds of watts wasted as heat. You get cooler operation because the AL-80Bs exclusive Instantaneous RF Bias completely turns off the 3-500ZG tube between words. The all New AL-80B kilowatt output desktop linear can double your average SSB power output with high-level RF processing using Ameritrons exclusive Dynamic ALC. Ameritrons legendary AL-80A kilowatt amplifier has been completely redesigned and extensively improved.
