BARRETT 4075 LINEAR AMPLIFIER - OPERATING & INSTALLATION MANUAL
Introduction
The Barrett 4075 is a solid-state linear amplier operating from 1.6 MHz to
30 MHz. It can be supplied with a power output level of either 500 watts or
1000 watts.
Extensive self-test, system monitoring, and protection circuits are provided,
with status and tuning information being displayed on a large OLED display.
The exciter for the 4075 linear amplier is a Barrett 4050 Transceiver set
to “4075 Linear Amplier” as the antenna type, where its power output is
reduced to a maximum of 30 W, and 40 W above 20 MHz. The ALC voltage
for the exciter is derived at the Linear Amplier’s output, and is passed to the
exciter via the Breakout Box.
The Barrett 4075 Power Supply Unit provides the +48 volts required to power
the amplier.
