At IRTS Hamfest in Mullingar yesterday, I picked up these two (working) Yaesu 80s era linear amps for €15 ea. They do 10W with maximum 1.5W in. The 2m version is all discrete components inside while the 70cm uses a Mitsubishi RF module. The 2m will be perfect to run as the power stage for my 2m homebrew project if I get that completed. Had never seen these before and think they’re pretty cool. Seemed like a great price. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio.
