Frequently Asked Questions
Has the amplifier been tested?
The unit was reported working at the time of removal from service. No bench testing or RF output verification has been performed since.
What cosmetic issues are present?
The red power indicator light holder is cracked and off-center. The indicator light still functions when powered.
What is included with the purchase?
Amplifier unit only. No power cables, RF cables, or mounting hardware included.
Is this compatible with modern radio systems?
Compatibility depends on system frequency range, impedance, and power requirements. Verify specifications before integration.
Where is this typically installed?
These amplifiers are commonly rack-mounted or fixed within radio equipment shelters and cabinets.
Built for steady duty rather than show, this TPL amplifier reflects an era when UHF coverage was expanded one watt at a time. Its next assignment is defined entirely by the system that puts it back on the air.
