AMERITRON’s revolutionary

ALS-600 is amateur radio’s only lin-

ear amplifier that uses four rugged

TMOS RF power FETs -- gives

unequaled no tune solid state per-

formance. $1499 includes our no

tune FET Amplifier and a 120/220

VAC, 50/60 Hz AC power supply

for home operation.

Yo u get instant bandswitching, no tuning, no warm-up, no fuss!

ALS-600 gives 600 Watts PEP Output power and 500 Watts CW

with continuous coverage 1.5 to 22 MHz; 10/12 Meters with easy-

to-install optional kit, $29.95 plus shipping. Must present FCC

license at time of sale.

SWR Protection prevents amplifier damage if you switch to the

wrong band, use the wrong antenna or have a high SWR. Over-

power protection enables if output forward power or reflected

power exceeds a safe level. Output power is automatically reduced

to prevent amplifier damage by controlling ALC to exciter.

The ALS-600 is extremely quiet. A low speed, low volume fan

is so quiet you’ll hardly know it’s there, unlike noisey blowers

used in other amplifiers. The ALS-600 is a compact 6x9

x12

inches -- takes up less space than your rig! Weighs just 12

lbs.

An LED illuminated Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter lets you

read SWR, forward and reflected peak power simultaneously. An

Operate/Standby switch lets you run “barefoot”, but you can

instantly switch to full power if you need it.

Yo u get a front-panel ALC control! This exclusive AMER-

ITRON feature lets you adjust your output power on the conven-

ient front panel display. You also get front panel Transmit, ALC,

and SWR LED indicators. A 12 VDC output jack lets you power

low current accessories. Enjoy 600 Watts of no tune Solid State

power. Call your favorite dealer for your best price.

But it gets even better than this! Do you want to place even the

main ALS-600 amplifier out of the way? Do you want the ALS-

600 to change bands automatically when you change bands on

your transceiver? You now have these options. A pair of RJ45

remote control interface jacks on the amplifier permits ALS-600 to

be controlled either manually by the compact ALS-500RC Remote

Control Head, or automatically by the ARI-500 Automatic Band

Switch. The Automatic Band Switch reads band data from your

transceiver and automatically changes the ALS-600 bands as you

change bands on your transceiver. See more details on page 6.

ALS-600PS Heavy Duty Power Supply

•Massive choke input filter greatly improves voltage regulation

and reduces peak AC line current

• AMERITRON’s exclusive

Multi-Voltage Power Transformer lets you compensate for stressful

high line voltage and performance robbing low line voltage • Step-

Start Inrush Protection

stops damaging inrush currents and

extends the life of your power supply components • Illuminated

Cross-Needle Meter monitors voltage and current of 50 VDC line.

• Extremely quiet fan • Very compact 6x9

x12 inches -- can be

placed conveniently out of the way • Wired for 120 VAC, supplies

50 VDC at 25 Amps to ALS-600 amplifier • Also use on 100-130

VAC and 220-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz • Draws less than 12 Amps at

100 VAC and less than 6 Amps at 230 VAC • Includes prewired

cable to plug into ALS-600 amplifier.

New! ARI-500, $119.95. Amplifier Radio Interface reads band

data from your transceiver so you can automatically bandswitch

your ALS-600 amplifier. See Page 9.

Just don’t take it from us . . . here’s what “they”

say about our solid state base station amplifier:

From QST Magazine, March, 2005

“. . . the ampifier faulted only when it was supposed to. It protected

itself from our boneheaded, sleep-deprived band changing manuevers . . .”

“I found myself not worrying about damaging this amplifier. It

seems quite capable of looking out for itself. . . . Kudos to Ameritron.”

“I couldn’t hear any noise at all from the SPS (switching power sup-

ply)

on the vertical or quad . . .”

“I came to greatly appreciate the size, weight, reliability and sim-

plicity of this amplifier.”

“The ALS-600S makes it possible to pack a transceiver and a

600 Watt amplifier, that together weigh less than 30 pounds.”

GOP-100 Grid

Overload

Protection Module

Grid Overload Protection

module protects your amp’s

tube from excessive grid

current. Fast-acting electron-

ic circuit rapidly disables the

amp if excessive grid current condition occurs.

Easy to install in your Ameritron amp. Factory

installation available, 662-323-8211 for details.

AMERITRON Inrush Current Protector stops damaging inrush current

Protects your amplifier, tubes and power supply components . . .

When you first turn

on your amplifier, a

massive inrush current

gushes in. House

lights flicker as you

hear a loud “thump”

from your amp. This terrible

inrush current stresses all your

power supply components to their

limits. Your cold tube filament suf-

fers abusive thermal shock.

Eventually, this massive inrush current will dam-

age your amplifier.

Ameritron’s Step-Start Inrush Current

ProtectorTM stops damaging inrush current.

Momentary high-voltage “spikes” in the AC

line can also cause damage to your amp. The

ICP-120/240 has built-in varistors to absorb

these spikes before they can cause damage.

Works with nearly all linear amplifiers.

By starting your linear amplifier through a

high power current limiting resistor and then

shorting the resistor with a relay, the start-up

sequence is easier on tube and power supply

components. All Ameritron kilowatt amplifiers

have this critical protection -- now you can add

this protection to your amp without complicated

wiring -- you don’t even have to remove the cover!

Ameritron ICP-120, $79.95 for 120 Volt

wired amplifiers. Limits current to 12 Amperes

during heavy draw inrush period, 20 Amperes

during continuous operating current. ICP-240,

$79.95 for 240 Volt wired amps.
