The Ameritron ARI-500 Amplifier
Radio Interface reads band data from your
Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood* or Alinco trans-
ceiver so they can remotely and automati-
cally band switch your Ameritron Solid
State Amps (ALS-500M, ALS-600, and
ALS-1300).
Now you can mount your amp out-of-
the-way in your trunk, at the back of your
motorhome or elsewhere and operate with
just this tiny box at your station control.
Works with serial numbers above 13049
(below 13049 requires the ARF-500K, see
above). You can add the ALS-500RC for
manual bandswitching and data monitoring,
etc, see page 95 for description.
*Not compatible with Kenwood TS-480,
2000 rigs.

AWM-35 has 300 Watt low, 3 kW high meter scale.
AWM-35H has 100W low, 1000W high meter scale.
We painstakingly designed
the AWM- 30 to make accurate,
precise power measurements.
Designed-in-accuracy is the
result of a carefully designed
directional coupler, an accurate active peak read-
ing circuit and a precision d’Arsonval meter
movement. Ameritron’s AWM-30 reads true-peak
or average power on a large LED lighted three inch Cross-Needle
meter. Handles 1500 Watts, 1.8 to 30 MHz. Has 3000/300 Watt
ranges. Reads forward and reflected power and SWR on highly
visible dual cross-needle meter movement.
Remote sensor with cable lets you conveniently place sensor.
Battery saver turns unit off with no RF applied. Uses 12 VDC or 9
volt battery (not included). Beautiful wrap-around custom metal
cabinet looks great in your shack. Compact 4

AMERITRON ALS-1300 is a solid state

TM
FET no-tune Amplifier.
Get instant bandswitching, no tuning, no
warm-up, no tubes to baby and no fuss!
Reliability of the ALS-1300 is insured
by using eight rugged MRF-150 power
FETs. Ameritron’s eight FETs are mounted
on the dual heavy duty heat sink. They are
properly arranged to spread out the heat
over a large surface, something that other
amplifiers using a single power device can-
not do. Some FETs actually are a package
of several transistors in one large case.
This concentrates all of the heat in one
small package. They not only are more dif-
ficult to cool, if one transistor fails they all
have to be replaced.
The ALS-1300 RF deck operates from
50 Volts for efficient, low distortion linear
RF power service. It’s cooled by a whisper
quiet cooling fan. Fan speed is regulated
by temperature sensors, assuring minimum
noise for adequate cooling.
ALS-1300 runs up to 1200 Watts of
clean SSB output power (just 100 Watts
drive gives you the full rated 1200 Watts
output) for continuous coverage between
1.5-22 MHz. 10/12 Meters available to
licensed amateurs with an optional kit
(MOD-10MK, $39.95). Must present FCC
license at time of sale.
The operator-friendly layout fits nearly
any station configuration. The attractive
desktop amplifier unit weighs only 22
pounds. Compact 10Wx 6

/2Hx18D inches.
SWR Protection prevents amplifier damage
if you switch to the wrong band, use the
wrong antenna or have a high SWR. Over-
power protection enables if output forward
power or reflected power exceeds a safe level.
Output power is automatically reduced
to prevent amplifier damage by controlling
ALC to exciter.
LED illuminated Cross-Needle SWR/
Wattmeter lets you read SWR, forward and
reflected peak power simultaneously. You
also get ALC, SWR, PA balance and trans-
mit meter and LED indicators. An Operate/
Standby switch lets you run “barefoot”, but
you can instantly switch to full power if needed.
Front-panel ALC control! This exclusive
Ameritron feature lets you adjust output
power on the convenient front panel display.
Yo u also get front panel Operation, Band,
and error LED indicators like reflected power
and bandswitch errors.
Enjoy 1200 Watts of no tune Solid State
power with the Ameritron ALS-1300 amp.
But it gets even better than this! Do you
want to place even the main ALS-1300
amplifier out of the way? Do you want the
ALS-1300 to change bands automatically
when you change bands on your radio?
You now have these options.
A pair of RJ45 remote control interface
jacks on the amplifier permits ALS-1300 to
be controlled either manually by the optional
ALS-500RC (see page 95) Remote Control
Head, or automatically by the optional ARI-
500 (see below) Auto Band Switch.
The Automatic Band Switch reads band
data from your transceiver and automatical-
ly changes the ALS-1300 bands as you
change bands on your transceiver. A super-
clean layout with easy-service modular
construction will give you years of operation.
ALS-1300SPS Power Supply
The ALS-1300 is
powered by a 50 VDC
switching power supply.
Comes with pre-wired
cable to plug into the
ALS-1300. This hash-free
fully-regulated switching
power supply is only 12 lbs. and measures a

Amps to the ALS-1300. Wired for 220
VAC, selectable to 110 VAC. Draws less than
25 Amps at 110 VAC; 12A at 220 VAC.
