Review Summary For : Q5 Signal 23/24cm power amplifiers
Reviews: 1MSRP:
Description:
The L2360PA series of 23/24cm power amplifiers is a new design utilizing the standard configuration of two combined MOSFET power modules. This design offers a new attractive physical design and options and features that were not previously available. Your amplifier has been custom configured to your specific requirements.The L2360PA and PAS is optimized for the 1270-1300 weak signal portion of the band (23cm) and the L2360PATV is optimized for the ATV and lower FM mode (1240-1270 MHz) portion of the band (24cm). Either optimization may be used for the Satellite band segment of 1262- 1270 MHz. Power Output: Power output is optimized for a minimum of 50 watts linear or +60 watts saturated in the band segment chosen. This power level is only achieved with the specified operating voltage of 13.8 VDC and at the maximum specified drive level selected at the time of ordering. The amplifier will operate out of the selected frequency range at reduced levels. Input Drive level: The Input Drive Level is the power level that will produce the maximum linear output power. Saturated output power will occur 1 or 2 dB above that level. Connectors are either Type N or SMA. A BNC type may be requested for the input connector only and mixed connectors may be utilized with no additional charge. Options: LNA: This is an internal LNA that is switched in/out of line during Transmit and can be bypassed and controlled with connections made through the DC connector. It is only available in the L2360PAS version amplifier.

Excellent Amplifier Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I am a weak signal operator in the 23cm band and was looking for a quality built Amplifier with an LNA built into it without spending an exorbitant amount. I contacted Q5 Signal and talked to Corey the Owner. After discussing what i wanted and how i needed it configured i ordered the 60 watt version with an LNA. Corey builds each Amplifier with the customer's requested options and configurations. After running several tests with other 23cm operators and a couple of VHF/UHF contest the AMP/LNA came thru with flying colors. Weak signals jump out with crisp/clean audio when the LNA is in operation and the amplifier puts out a clean signal. I had Corey install a few additional items such as an RF indicator, LNA on/off switch and a custom made connector for the PTT. The Amplifier is extremely well designed and built and performs flawlessly.
If if want a high quality Amplifier contact Q5.
You will not be disappointed.
