QAMP20 • 4 INTR ODU C TION The Ram sey QAMP serie s of QR P power amplif iers are co mpact 10 to 20 watt RF amplifiers for QRP CW transmitters. These amplifiers are made to be driven by transmitters in the ½ to 2 watt range. Built-in to the power amplifier is a sensitive T-R relay which w ill switch the unit in and out of the antenna line.

QAMP20 • 7 In all the follow ing instruction steps, our word "INSTALL" means to do the following: • Insert the part, oriented correctly , into its correct holes in the PC board.
QAMP20 • 8 15. Install Q3 and Q4, 2N3904 NPN transistors, observing pro per orientation of the flat side. The se two transistors amplify the signal diode' s output to a level high enough to close relay K1. 16. Install diode D4, 1N40 02 style blac k epoxy diode.

QAMP20 • 11 through the core , continuing on in the same direction as before. Tin each end with solder all the way up to the core body. This windin g is the 2 turn center-tapped secondary of T2. 45. Winding T1: Locate the remaining larger 2-hole ferrite core.
QAMP20 • 12 50. Inst all L2, the 14 turn toro id inductor - you ma rked it special, rem ember? 51. Install L3, the remaining 12 turn toroid inductor.
QAMP20 • 13 4. Temporarily install a ju mper from the collector of Q3 to ground. 5. Apply power to the amplifier but do not turn on the transmitter. Measure the current draw n by the amplifier and slowly rotate the bias pot, R4, clock w ise until you reach a reading of ¼ amp.
QAMP20 • 14 Ideally, yo u have a small RF wattmeter, already inserted in the antenna line, capable of accurately measuring low outp ut power in wa tts. And it cost you less than what you paid for the transmitter kit. Right? In the words of Wayne from "Wayne's World" .
QAMP20 • 15 KB4ZGC on how to make a highly accurate yet inexpensive dummy load and wattmeter capable of showing 1/10 -watt differences in RF power. If you use a wattmeter characterized for the HF frequency region, it will not give accurate results at the much higher t wo meter fr equencies, although it will be quite adequate for go/no-go testing.
QAMP20 • 16 If you hear an AC hum on the transmitted signal, usual causes are RF getting back into the powe r supply or a bad VSWR on the antenna. These short checks in no way detail any and all problems that can rear their ugly head , but should get you on the way to solving most errors.
