HI folks, turns out its an Tokyo hy pwr HL-100b,mentioned broadband in its description but its for 21/28 mhz as supplied, and with the relavant optional filters is capable off operation on 80//40/20 etc.

anyone have any actual operating knowledge off this particular linear ?? intend to use it in conjunction with my little yaesu ft817 tcvr.

quick question regards solid state amps ?? notice that a lot off folk twist the positive / negative dc cables around each other when leading to the power supply, how important is this ??

thanks again,
              john..

Hi, John,

The model(s) you are looking for are the Tokyo Hy-Power HL-100BDX (10W in for 100W out) and the HL-200BDX (10W in for 200W out).  Both are small, solid state amps.  Build quality is excellent.  I've heard nothing but excellent reports about them.  I have the older HL-100B and HL-750 amps and also owned the HL-50B.  All are excellent.

Info can be found at:  http://www.thp.co.jp/thp%20hp%20Eng/amateur_eng/hf_eng.htm

In addition there is a mailing list on Yahoo! Groups for Tokyo Hy-Power with somewhere around 115 members.  See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tokyohypower

Also, note the spelling of the company name.  It's Hy- not Hi.

73,
Caity

BUY IT-BUY IT-BUY IT! I got one for my ft817 and am not sorry. I can play the qrp side of the coin and then work the hard to get stations with the push of a button. The auto band switching makes operation easier.
