KW 1000C Linear - info? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi All

I acquired this linear with some other equipment when a ham friend of mine died, it doesn't appear to be for the amateur bands, does anyone have any information on it?

Thanks

Peter

Does it look like this...? http://www.rigpix.com/linears/kwelectronics_kw1000.htm

Very similar but lacking band tuning information and with a 'C' after the 1000. Has a switch marked 'A, B, C, D'

It is the commercial version for 4 fixed channels. Probably matched the KW2000C commercial transceiver.

The KW afficianados (?) hang out on a Yahoo Group called "KW_Radios", you will get all the answers there, often from the original designer!

Some photo's would help, especially of the internals.

Its almost identical to the picture in post two, except that that the band switch is marked A,B,C and D otherwise it looks very similar to the ham version.
