MRF300 Chinese linear kit !!

I have just seen this on AliExpress! It looks like the mrf186 board just with 2 MRF300’s instead! :D

It says it’s for the 2m band but I think it could be reworked for 3m? I don’t think they have got the input or output matching right though because it does 500 watts with 5-6 watts of drive (supposedly). I think 2 MRF300’s should do 600W plus with 2-3 watts input. Maybe the designer is overdriving the input to achieve some broadband performance (plus some extra carriers).

I’ve seen a HAM radio dude do the matching with a 1:9 TLT using 17 ohm coax, perhaps that could be implemented here.

I’m not an expert by any stretch of the imagination so I’m just speculating. I just thought that I’d share it since it could be a really (REALLY) cheap way to do a 600 watt rig!! :tup

I have a feeling it’s a copy of this.

Also forget what I was saying about input drive that’s probably untrue that it should need only 2-3 watts .
