for sale: 1500 watt larcan 2 meter amplifier *** * $ 900 + shipping The amplifier is one module out of a Larcan 30,000 watt television transmitter for [legacy, analog] TV channel 5 or 6.

The Larcan amplifiers come in three frequency ranges with three power ratings in each. The low band amplifier modules are designed for 54-72MHz (lo/lo) and 72-88MHz (lo/hi) operating ranges. The high band amplifier was designed for 174-230MHz.

The amplifier module is ideal for today's punishing digital modes as well as SSB and CW. The amps have been modified with the serious 2M DXer in mind. Typical drive power is 20-25W input for 1kW output power.

Sep 26, 2017 · Larcan 1.5 kW Amplifier Module. Suitable for 6m or 2m. Run the full legal limit! These amplifier modules are from a channel 2 transmitter. They are lo-lo modules optimized currently for TV channels 2-4. The module is easy to optimize on 6m and quite easy to …

Amplifier Conversion Information. In all, there are six amplifier types: three frequency ranges and two power levels:

I ran across an article in the October 2012 issue of QST describing a modern 2 meter linear amplifier that developed over 1000 watts with a single LDMOS transistor. Wow! And it required less than 2 watts drive in order to do it (that works out to around 27 dB of gain in a single device).

The VHF-LO Larcan amps are based on 175MHz RF transistors. They can be modified to operated on the 2m band. The modifications are more substantial than those for the “lo-hi” to “lo-lo” conversion, but are still relatively easy to perform.

The amplifier is built into a 4U 19” relay rack panel (7”) and has two analog meters on the front panel. The right hand meter is a DC current meter measuring 100 amps full scale. The left hand meter is a nice RF power meter with a 0-40 scale, so a …

Feb 11, 2012 · Very limited quantity of Larcan 6-transistor 1.5kW amplifier modules. (upper picture) No mods needed for use at 222MHz. Gain about 16dB, 40 watts drive needed for full power. DC input power connector and schematic diagrams included. I've shipped several in a manner as shown below with very good results. (6-meter amp shown in crate)

Feb 11, 2012 · 1kW Larcan 50MHz amplifier. 6.5W drive produces 1kW output. $800US total shipped Canada/USA. Both amplifiers picked up from local ham who changed plans for 6 and 2-meters operation. Each has been bench tested and works with no problems.
