The transmitter is available as a component kit which includes all the electrical and mechanical components.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>JUMA TX500 is using ultra high efficiency CMCD amplifier (Current Mode Class D) topology in the final RF amplifier. The final transistors produce negligible heat. This means that you get 60 watts output with only 5 amp current from a 14 VCD power supply. TX500 is infinite key down proof transmitter. See power and efficiency <a href="http://www.nikkemedia.fi/juma-tx500/juma-tx500-out-versus-frequency.gif" target="_blank">measurement graph</a>. The frequency stability and the signal purity of JUMA TX500 are excellent.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>JUMA TX500 is a versatile building block for 500 kHz, it includes antenna switching for RX and it can be connected to any 500 kHz receiver. TX500 will enhance your RX performance with the built-in narrow band front-end filter and with the selectable 10dB/20dB preamplifier. If a 500 kHz receiver is not available, you can switch ON the built-in high dynamic RX up-converter and listen 500 kHz band with a 3.5 MHz receiver.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Additionally JUMA TX500 can be configured for a stand-alone beacon. You can enter a desired CW message and start a continuous beacon transmission.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>You can download <a href="http://www.nikkemedia.fi/juma-tx500/juma-tx136-tx500.zip" target="_blank">JUMA TX136/TX500 Windows control software</a>. It is very useful especially in slow QRSS CW and supports speed down to 0.1 wpm.
