TR30
The Palstar TR30 is a new transceiver optimized for Ham Band only reception using the best of legacy techniques combined with microprocessor controlled DDS and electronic switching for rock solid performance.
Optimum HF sensitivity is provided by an active mixer that does not require an RF Preamp. The active mixer has inherently strong overload performance and with no RF Preamp, the TR30 provides excellent performance for all bands, modes and signal conditions.
11 poles of crystal filter by Pivnichny provides single-signal reception in a single conversion superheterodyne that has clarity reminiscent of direct conversion. This single conversion, using a low phase noise LO, minimizes spurious responses, reciprocal mixing and high background noise. The TR30's TFT implemented analog S-meter returns the operator's ability to see and feel the received signal strength and its characteristics. Not only is it responsive, but also factory calibrated for S9 and dB readings above and below.
The Industry's first TFT color touch screen interface is so intuitive that a licensed operator can turn on and operate the TR30 without wading through menus or studying a tedious manual.
The TR30 has one of the industry's best transmit IMD performance, provided by a 50 Volt RF LDMOS FET transmitter final. 20 watt PEP output with IM3 of -48 dB PEP or -42 dBc is 10 to 20 dB better than today's popular transceivers. The TR30 is an ideal exicter for high-performance Linear RF Power Amplifiers that can provide 100 Watts PEP.
