| The Ameritron ATP-100 AmplifierSaver lets you safely tune
up your linear amplifier perfectly for full power output and best
linearity. It protects your expensive amplifier from overheating, tube
damage, power supply stress and arc-over during tune-up. It prevents
premature failure and costly component replacements.
Ameritron's innovative pulse tuning technology lets you tune your
amplifier at full peak output power for best linearity. It keeps average
power to a low safe level to prevent overheating and power supply
stress. "Why can't I just tune up at low power to reduce
overheating and component stress?" you ask yourself. Well you
can... but if you don't re-tune at high power (which causes overheating)
you can create severe splatter and abuse your rube grids because of
excessive grid current.
If your linear uses tubes that are easily damaged by normal tune-up,
the ATP-100 could extend tube life. "Sniff out" RFI or TVI
caused by rusty guy-wires, rain gutters, clotheslines and others by
generating full peak power without amplifier damage. Also use to
evaluate wattmeters and QSK systems. Set and forget internal trim pots
let you tailor duty cycle and pulse rate precisely for your rig and
amplifier. Plugs into your rig's CW key jack. Simply press Pulse Tune
button and tune your amplifier normally for maximum power output.
Locking Pulse Tune and momentary Carrier Tune buttons. Fully shielded
all metal case, 3 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 4 inches. Uses 9 volt battery.
