RM KL-505V Linear Amplifier 10m / HF, 230W, 25dB Preamp, Dual Fan

The RM KL-505V is a dual fan-cooled 13.8V linear amplifier designed primarily for the 10m amateur band, with extended HF coverage from 1.8–30MHz when used with a suitable low-pass filter. It delivers up to 230W output from 1–10W of drive across all modes — a step up from the KL-405V's 180W — and features a six-position output power selector on the front panel for precise power control. A built-in 25dB RX preamplifier with electronic switching is activated via a front panel switch. The V variant includes two 80mm heatsink-mounted fans for sustained high-power operation.

Note: Always ensure your antenna system is correctly matched (SWR within specification) before using a linear amplifier. Check local regulations regarding the use of linear amplifiers on amateur and CB frequencies.
