The Discovery is a self-contained power amplifier which is designed to give the full legal limit at the aerial, allowing for feeder losses.

The Amplifier uses the Eimac 3CX800A7 high mu triode, which has a valve anode dissipation of 800 Watts. The unit has its own self contained power supply which is fully proteced.

Specification :

The new 2m and 6m Discovery are designed for the serious DXer who wants long distance QSO's on 144 and 50 MHz. The 3CX800A7 has been chosen for its very high stability and its capability of giving 400 Watts O/P with only 10 Watts of drive.

- The Amplifier is fan cooled with an Airflow 33BTFL fan which is quiet and very efficient. The O/P of the amplifier is a tuned cavity to give maximum efficiency on 2m (on 6m the O/P is a Pi - L network)

- Full metering of Plate input and Grid current are provided on the front panel along with LED status lights to give present Tx/Rx mode.

- A 3min timer is incorporated to give a delay on switch-on to ensure that the valve cathode is thoroughly warmed up.

- The power supply incorporates an ILP toroidal transformer which has been used in our HUNTER HF amplifier for the last 5 years with not one failing on us, into our voltage-doubler power supply board to give 2300 Volts.

- The amplifier is housed in a strong newly designed cabinet for easy operation whether at home or on a Field Day site etc.
