Description:
Here is a compact and fully automatic amp with up to 300 watts output at less than 12 watts input on all Amateur bands from 160 through 10 meters. These amplifiers include fast hardware protection circuits to protect the power transistors in the event of a high SWR condition on the antenna feedline. Two 50Vdc MACOM MRF150 RF Power FETs in Class AB push-pull configuration is automatically or manually switched to one of six low pass filters that provide over 50dB harmonic suppression.

Great little amp Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Compact, solid state amplifier. No plating and loading necessary. Auto detecting of band being used so no switching. Adjustable settings via an easy to see and clear display. Minimum 8 watts drive and 14 watts maximum for 300 watts stated in specs. Though with just 8 watts of drive this amp was giving a PEP of 250 watts and with 10 watts of drive was delivering closer to 400...i did not try 14 watts of drive but i suspect this amp is highly likely to deliver WELL above its stated output power. Sensitive to tuning and SWR because of inbuilt safety features. Very good linear amplifier.

Excellent Small Amp Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Even though the specs say 300 watts out I see around 400 PEP on SSB with 10 watts of drive. I love the little amp and it is very easy to use with auto band switching.
