hello to the "Pluto" users,
I am looking for a suitable driver amplifier for the "Pluto".
What do you use ?
I need about 1 - 2 watts of output, may be a bit more.
Greetings Georg

Hi Georg.
The Pluto needs a little bandpass filtering in addition to a PA.
If you look at the RFPA5208 from Mouser, that has enough power to drive a larger PA and 40dB of gain. So, a possible solution would be .....Pluto / SF2124E Band pass filter / Resistive pad as required to set output level / RFPA5208 / optional Low pass filter.
You will get up to 600mW to drive a PA.
That can drive the commonly used Chinese Wifi amp to 3W (advertised as 8W) without problems. apx 170mW drive needed for 3W out.
See you on QO-100
