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.

Anything 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.

I have this PA and it is labeled ¡°100W PA¡±.

However I cannot find the datasheet for the transistors. Motorola SRF2604.

any ideas what the range for this is?

drive needed?

Good idea! Thanks!

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.

Ken,
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

Need the part number on the other side. Post a pic of the other side. Looks like a Possible mid band board.?
