ES-4 COMES AS A CONTROL UNIT AND A BASE (SWITCHING) UNIT

The Base Unit receives 12V power and has all the heavy coaxial cables connected to it. There is also provision for connecting up to 3 PTT and up to 3 ALC cables (optional, if used or needed). Typically the base unit is installed behind the amplifier, possibly on a wall or wooden panel (Mounting Bracket supplied).
The Control Unit is connected to the base via a flat cable. It has an optional PTT connection. The control unit is typically placed in front of the operator, near the radio.

Specifications

  • Input power (3 inputs): 200 W maximum , 50 Ω load, non-switching
  • The non-active inputs: grounded
  • Output power (5 outputs): 2000 W, 3000 W peak, 50 Ω load, non-switching
  • See ES-4SP for a higher power version
  • Feedback Output to Input: about  -115dB@30MHz
  • SWR: Better than 1:1.05, 1 MHz to 30 MHz, Input (Radio) and Output (Antenna)
  • Power requirements: 12 Vdc, 11 to 15 V range, up to 250 mA current
  • Protection: “Hot Switching” – changing input or output is inhibited if PTT is low (<1 V)
  • The PTT (RCA) sockets output a weak voltage of +5 V. When pulled low, the current is about 8 mA.
  • ALC negative signal sent to the 3 radios via back to back diodes (if connected)
  • Standard version uses SO-239 connectors. “N” version available.
