Superb quality  Time owned: more than 12 months
Beko is a little-known make of linear amplifier over here in the UK which is a shame as the amplifiers are absolutely stunning.

We had used a Beko HLV-750 in our 2m contest station for a couple of years, but decided to upgrade to the HLV-1500 last year.

Bernhard was most helpful in all our email communications and even incorporated a couple of mods that I had requested. Delivery date was accurate.

Quick summary - superb build quality - a real eyefull - small footprint on the desk - runs very cool and quiet - easy to interface with our DB6NT transverter - power meter that reads peak power accurately.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Would not hesitate to go the Beko route for 6m and 70cm if we develop our contest station further, and these amps match the HLV-1500 exactly in size which would make a really nice stack on the desk!

As usaul super  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
Hi,

After some hlv-600 and hlv-1200 i am now the proud owner of a new hlv-1500. This weekend was the EUR VHF contest and without a lott of noise, direct full power it was a pleasure to use the amplifier. I am so happy that the new hlv-1500 is abt half size and half weight of the former hlv-1200. The blue display gives a cool effect.

The package could be better. It isnt bad but i prefer to put such state of the art at least double boxed (like the boxes from Yaesu ft950/ft-2000 Icom ic-7600 etc). So if you order some think about it. But it is packed with a lott of foam so it is probaly ok like this...BUT.....

The contact and agreements (delivery date) was exactly as prommised.

So a big 5+ for this product.

Hope to meet you on 2Mtr.
