The HL-45B is a small compact HF and 6 meter amplifier capable of 45 Watts output on all modes. Band switching is manual, but all required low pass filters are included. Because it requires 5 Watts input to drive it to full power, detailed construction notes are provided to provide a small preamp between the Penelope and HL-45B.
Specifications and other information on the Tokyo Hy-Power labs' HL-45B are available at Tokyo Hy-Power's web site. The measured Gain of this amplifier is shown in Figure #1.
