Description
It’s an Alpha, it’s rugged, it’s manual tune and it’s full legal limit... what else do you need to know? Ok well here’s a little bit more. The Alpha 8100 utilizes an enhanced version of the bombproof RF deck found in the Alpha 99. On the 8100’s control board you’ll find a microprocessor that allows us to calibrate the power and gain metering for each specific band, normalize amplification performance and increase reliability and durability. All of these functions aggregate into a single greater benefit for the user, ease of tuning. The 8100 comes stock with a serial port for remote monitoring and performance data logging. The power supply stack found in the 8100 has been designed for maximum durability and reliability while allowing for extremely easy voltage tap changes.
As with all Alphas this finely handcrafted specimen comes with a 4-year warranty, is supported by our friendly and knowledgeable staff and was designed and built in Boulder, Colorado USA.
