  • Dear All,

    Here is a website which you can try to build your own for your 2meter handy walki-talki...

    The FARA 2m Amplifier Project
    An economical, easy-to-build, 25 watt 2 meter amplifier

    But wait! You must first look for this Motorola, an MRF1946A (Q1) RF Power Transistor... which is the main component in the Linear Power Amplifier.

    Or as alternative would be Philips BLW60 RF Power Transistor which is used in Midland 73-009 30 watts VHF Booster.

    Here is a link with lots of VHF linear Amplifier homebrew...
