Re: 10W HF PA Kit: TX on Low input. How best to implement?
Evan Hand
Hi Ken,
The QRP-Guys 50 CW amp has the low pass filter included with the correct capacitors. The 50watt amp is designed as a single-band amp to match the single band QCX series of transceivers. For me, I am using one of two 100watt rated low pass filters. One from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282860312127 or https://www.minikits.com.au/electronic-kits/high-frequency/hf-filters-lowpass/eme209-kit I have both and both have about the same filter response. I tested them with a DIY 100watt kit from eBay. I had more trouble building the MiniKits filters as the SMD diodes that had to be installed on the select lines were really tricky to get installed correctly. Since I started this response I see that Hans cleared it up that the QRP-Guys LPF kits are suitable for 10watts. I would go with those as the build instructions and support are much better than the other two. I have also read that there have been some shipments of the eBay kit shipped with incorrect components. Hope this helps, 73 Evan AC9TU
