Repair of a HF amplifier

 
 

Purchased "broken-down" (for part) at the Ham-Expo 2022 show.


Failure observed: the 2 SD1407 power transistors are burnt out (SWR, input power or temperature too high?).


Improvements made: replacement with 2 MRF422s + optimization of the ventilation system.


Addition of a "minimum filtering" solution (but serious): EMI mains filter + HF low-pass filter.


These types of "wideband" transistor amplifiers are not equipped with band-pass filters.


Followed by a small matte black varnish finish.
