Connection method between XPA125 and other QRP radio 

If you want to start the XPA125 power amplifier and put it into the transmit 
mode, you need to set the PTT port to a low level [level≤0.1V]. 
If the PTT output signal of the transceiver is at high level, the high level 
needs to be converted into a low level, and then input to the XPA125 
[ACC-PTT] port. 

 

 

 

Pin 2 of the XPA125 ACC port is the PTT input port 

 

 

In order to achieve automatic band switching, the corresponding band voltage    
is needed. XPA125 band control voltage information is as follows.

Procedure: 

3.2.1

 

Using the  power  amplifier  unit  [PA  unit]  (ATU  unit  is  set  to BYPS) 

 

Press the PA key, so that the state of the amplifier is [INUSE].

 

If your connected transceiver is an X108G or X5105, please set 
the output power to 5 W. 

If you are using any other QRP transceiver, please set the output 
power to 1 W. 

Set  your  transceiver  to  CW  mode,  press  the  CW key to 
transmit, and the XPA125 amplifier will be activated. 

The output power of the XPA125 can be adjusted by adjusting 
the output power of the connected transceiver.
