Legendary HobbyPCB support
The FCC does not allow the commercial sale of power amplifiers that operate below 30MHz with gain in excess of 15 dB. The Hardrock-500 is a project that involves the purchase of two products; a HobbyPCB Hardrock-500 amplifier support package and an amplifier deck available from various sources. Through a resale agreement with RF Power Tools, we can provide both pieces together. Please purchase the AN1819 Amplifier Deck to complete your amplifier or contact us for a list of other options.
