Contester BPF Matrix «Perfo Box-200», includes 6 band BPF switching system and chassis, no filters

Contester BPF Matrix «Perfo Box - 200»

Consists of 6 band switching system and chassis for six bands.

Any "Perfo Box - 200" fiters can be installed while front panel labeling is provided for six contesting bands.

Band Pass Filters «Perfo Box - 200» achieve 60 to 90 dB of out-of-band suppression and insertion loss less then -0.5db.

They eliminate image and harmonic RF interference issues for dedicated mono-band operations in multi-radio contesting environments.

Features:

• Power handling 200W ICAS*, max VSWR 1,5:1
• Typical insertion loss is less than 0.5 dB
• Typical adjacent band attenuation is -60÷90 dB, individual filter plots provided

• 13.6VDC, 500 mA. required for operation
• 2.1 mm power input jack Center is + input
• Phoenix plugable control connector (and 8 pin round connector) can be used to power unit as well, 7th pin is + input, 8th pin is Common

• All the control functions is done with a single Rotary switch
• Eight LED indicators show DC power status and band selection
• Band selection can be Manual or Automatic (two Auto modes)
• DC power off provides a Bypass mode for the unit

• SO-239 (can be replaced to N type on demand) connectors for connection to radio and amplifier or antenna
• Heavy duty chassis construction

AUTO modes:

• To use Auto modes this unit must be powered ON
• Auto mode is selected when Rotary switch is in Auto position
• "Auto" LED will light up RED

• The bandpass filter can be selected by the customer’s external band decoder control signal to the unit via Phoenix plugable connector on the rear panel or 8 pin round connector which is in parallel to the Phoenix connector;
• The Contester BPF system is looking for a Positive (Source) trigger signal from external band decoder on the pin that corresponds to the band

• The bandpass filter can also be selected by internal BCD, 4bit band decoder, 5 pin round connector on a rear panel
• The Contester BPF system is looking for a Positive BCD trigger signal in a Yaesu/Elecraft standard 4 bit code

• Only one control signals can be used at any time. Either external band decoder (decoded six band signals) or internal BCD decoder (4 bit BCD signal)

• N type input and output connectors on demand;
• BandPass filters can be replaced by the filters for the bands of your interest;
• Two Contester units can be cascaded to fit 12 available "PerfoBox-200" BPFs for 160-80-60-40-30-20-17-15-12-10-6-4 meter bands;
