VK3XPD 23cm 65W modules - VK3BA - 22-04-2024
G'day all,
Years ago at Gippstech, Alan VK3XPD sold a quantity of 23cm 65W modules. They may have been Lucent cellular modules. I bought one for an intended use, it sat idle, then I moved it one to someone else with a more immediate use. Sellers remorse since set in. Sound familiar? Now that I’m after one for ATV or D-ATV use, I’m after one again and have since been offered one tonight. I’m pretty sure when I bought mine years ago, there were one or two pages of application notes to go with it. If there was such a thing, would anyone here still have a copy of these notes who would be kind enough to send me a copy please?
I’m assuming that for 65W out on SSB will equal about 15W out for DVB-T TX at saturation at short duration. My main two questions were, was it about 26vDC or 28vDC input and what was the input power to drive to saturation? I’d obviously have to back it off to run DVB-T for 10mins at a time without letting the smoke out.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
