Review on πŸ“» Enhance your HF Radio Experience with Xiegu XPA125B Power Amplifier & Auto Antenna Tuner: 100W for G90, X5105, G1M QRP Transceiver by Sheppard Priest

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent amp for the price - some unknowns in terms of gain and algorithms

I bought the XPA125B direct from HRO a few months ago due to shipping issues. I'm mainly interested in using it for 10m portable/battery use, so it goes well with my G90 and the (required) CE-19 interface. A few observations on setting up a 10m magloop; A 1W AM carrier produced about 70W. AM carriers from 2 to 5 watts produced about 85 watts, the XPA125B's amp reading was 11 amps. I suspect the SSB power will be much higher, I don't have a reliable way to measure PEP so I'll leave it at that. I'd love to see a more detailed spec for this thing, but gosh this is a respectable amp for the price. It has a PTT function so it should work with any QRP setup. You'll need to examine the connections, a good supply of interface cables are supplied.
