It has proved to be extremely rugged and reliable and is used by the US & UK military. It is an intelligent - microprocessor controlled - high powered linear amplifier. It constantly monitors your HF-SSB’s activities, power needs and antenna condition, and automatically (in less than 15 milliseconds) selects the right broadband amplifier. It has been designed to be left unattended, where access to the amplifier is limited. It is also very compact, taking up less than a cubic foot of space. Fully compatible with most HF equipment produced by most HF manufacturers.
When installing your SG-500, be absolutely certain that your antenna will handle the power output. Antennas rated at 500W or less are likely to fail.
The SG-500 features microprocessor controlled LED bank fault indicators and extra heavy-duty input/output connectors. Only premium components and assembly techniques are utilised. The SG-500 is engineered and built to reliably function, essentially unattended, in the most demanding conditions.
