Possibly Quintron PA? Need help identifying transistors
Quintron made a lot of equipment for the 72-75Mhz linking band for paging.

It definitely looks like a Quintron constructed board.? The white label with the writing on it looks like how they identified boards. The date code may be 1989?? I think that was before they were bought out by Glenayre.? I've worked on several pieces of Quintron/Glenayre equipment but don't remember this board, especially one that had a BNC pigtail on it.? The pigtail looks like it was factory installed and not a modification, unless someone did a nice job of modification.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAnything with an SRF part number is usually a special-production or binned version of a regular MRF part, but rarely were cross-references (if they existed) published.?? That said, given the amount of inductance in the matching networks, I¡¯d have to think it¡¯s highband or midband. ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? --- Jeff WN3A ?

However I cannot find the datasheet for the transistors. Motorola SRF2604. any ideas what the range for this is? drive needed? |

Well here's an idea, put 12 volts to it, put a service monitor or signal generator into it, broadband watt meter on the output and sweep it and see where you get a peak in RF out driving it with say +10dbm... Probably won't see a hundred Watts
out with that drive but it'll tell you what band it is.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýKen,You are likely right but if I had the part number off the board I could confirm. There were some 100 watt mid band boards as well. The coils look different from the UHF ones I have here.?

Quintron QT-6700 (UHF) was 90 watts.I have a spare here and his board looks nothing like the one I have Ken At 06:34 PM 4/7/2025, you wrote: Just looking at it, especially the LP filter, I'd say UHF...lots of strip line used------------------------------------------------------------------------------ President and CTO - Arcom Controllers Makers of repeater controllers and accessories Phone: (503) 678 6182 Authorized Dealers for Kenwood and Telewave.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNeed the part number on the other side. Post a pic of the other side. Looks like a Possible mid band board.?Ken Pearce? N4KCD? Commerce Township, MI On Apr 7, 2025, at 21:34, Chris Boone WB5ITT via groups.io <setxtelecom@...> wrote:
