DX Patrol QO-100 Power Amplifier

The DX Patrol QO-100 Power Amplifier is a robust and efficient 2.4 GHz amplifier designed to complement the DX Patrol Up Converter and deliver a strong, clean uplink signal to the QO-100 (Es’hail-2) satellite. Compact and well-built, it provides up to 12 W of RF output power (with 20 W achievable) from a modest 50–100 mW input, making it the ideal final stage for any serious QO-100 station.

Based on the NXP MHT1008NT1 LDMOS RF amplifier and RF2126 driver, this amplifier offers an impressive 25 dB of gain and excellent linearity, ensuring your signal remains clear and stable. It features both VOX and TX-Ground PTT control options, with integrated power and SWR metering for real-time performance monitoring. The amplifier operates from a 24 V DC supply (with a built-in 12–24 V step-up converter included) and typically draws up to 2 A under full output conditions.

Housed in a rugged aluminium enclosure with SMA connectors and feed-through capacitors for clean DC input, the amplifier includes LED indicators for easy visual status monitoring. Designed to operate reliably in demanding conditions, it offers excellent thermal stability, accurate SWR readings, and a conservative power rating that ensures long-term durability.
