Overview

Hilberling HPA-8000B 1kW Power Amplifier

The Hilberling HPA-8000B is a true statement piece - an ultra-premium 1 kW HF amplifier engineered and built in Germany to the same uncompromising standards as the renowned PT-8000A. Designed for serious operators who demand absolute performance, precision, and reliability, the HPA-8000B delivers effortless power across the entire HF spectrum with intelligent control and rock-solid stability.

At the heart of the HPA-8000B is a high-efficiency LDMOSFET amplifier stage, capable of delivering a full 1 kW RF output across all amateur bands from 160m through to 6m (1.8 - 54 MHz). With a typical drive requirement of just 50W, it pairs perfectly with high-end transceivers, providing clean, linear amplification ideal for SSB, CW, AM, and FM operation.

This is not just raw power - it’s controlled, refined performance. The amplifier features an advanced control loop feedback system with -60 dBc attenuation, ensuring exceptional signal purity and minimising distortion. Combined with comprehensive protection circuitry covering SWR, temperature, current, and power levels, the HPA-8000B is built to perform reliably even under demanding conditions.

Operation is fully automated for a seamless experience. Band switching is handled via CAT control, while the integrated automatic antenna tuner (1.8 – 30 MHz, up to 3:1 SWR) ensures optimal matching and maximum power transfer without the need for external equipment. For flexibility, manual controls are also available via front panel band selection and traditional PTT/ALC inputs.

Connectivity is equally impressive. With dual transceiver inputs and four antenna outputs, the HPA-8000B integrates effortlessly into complex shack setups. USB and RS232 interfaces allow for remote control, configuration, and integration into advanced station systems.

Housed in a robust chassis with an internal 200 - 260V AC power supply, the amplifier is ready for serious operation straight out of the box. Every element reflects Hilberling’s commitment to engineering excellence - from the precision RF design to the flawless build quality.
