Make Your K3-K3s-K4 The Cleanest Radio In The Shack *

In the middle of the last decade, the availability of bipolar RF power transistors commonly used in the final output power stage of most HF Amateur transceivers came to an end. And this unfortunate event forced the designers and manufactures of most amateur HF transceivers to adopt the use of VMOS RF Power FETs in the final output stage of their transceivers. These VMOS devices however exhibited poor linearity which caused new transceivers that used the device to have higher levels of Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) with the potential of key clicks and splatter into adjacent frequencies.

However, owners of K3, K3s, and K4 transceivers can now avoid the likelihood of high Intermodulation Distortion and splatter by upgrading their final power amplifiers with a DynoLab Low Distortion LDMOS Amplifier.

The DynoLab Low Distortion LDMOS Amplifier also has the added advantage of being insensitive to supply voltage variations due to low battery conditions, power lead loss, or generator load changes while being able to produce 100+ watts from 160 thru 6 meters at 11.0 Vdc.

K4 VMOS vs. LDMOS

News

The E51MWA DXpedition team used three K3s transceivers which had been upgraded with DynoLab LDPA3A LDMOS power amplifiers. And these amplifiers greatly reduced the chances of interference between stations on the site while producing 100+ watts of RF output with supply voltages as low as 11.0 Vdc. And the RF output remained constant even with supply voltage variations due to power lead voltage drop, generator variations or low battery conditions.
