ALPHA/POWER presents ...
the new AlphaMAX™ and AlphaREMOTE™ Firmware Upgrades

New firmware that puts all ALPHA 87A's ever built even more in a class by themselves! AlphaMAX™ adds auto-adaptive tuning and AlphaREMOTE™ lets you control all functions of your ALPHA 87A from a compact toolbar on your Windows™ desktop.

AlphaMAX™ auto-adaptive tuning firmware can be installed easily in any ALPHA 87A.

  • Antenna impedance/VSWR vary significantly across the band?
    As you transmit, AlphaMAX™ automatically re-adjusts your 87A's output network to deliver maximum power output* and linearity for the specific antenna and frequency actually in use.
     
  • Contesters & DXers: Use multiple antennas on some (or all) bands?
    Within seconds after a band, frequency, or antenna change, AlphaMAX™ automatically trims 87A tune-up, as necessary, to insure that it continues to deliver maximum output, efficiency, and linearity.*
     
  • Transceiver power output varies with band or temperature?
    AlphaMAX™ even prevents distortion due to overdrive.  If peak rf input to your 87A changes significantly,* AlphaMAX™ detects the onset of non-linearity. It quickly re-adjusts loading and tuning to avert flattopping and splatter - while maximizing power output.*  No other amplifier, vacuum tube or solid state, can do that. 

    * All within maximum capabilities of the ALPHA 87A.

AlphaMAX™ doesn't change normal operation of your ALPHA 87A in any way. You can activate or de-activate AlphaMAX™ at the touch of a button, but we don't think you'll want to turn it off. And it's easy to install in any 87A; a qualified technician can do it in about 15 minutes.

AlphaREMOTE™
New software for all ALPHA 87A's puts every ALPHA 87A even further ahead of every other amateur radio power amplifier!

AlphaREMOTE™ lets you control all functions of your ALPHA 87A from a compact toolbar on your Windows™ desktop.
 
AlphaREMOTE™ delivers a new level of intuitive remote-control convenience because it's Windows™ based and compatible with Windows™ 95, 98, and NT.

AlphaREMOTE™ . . .

  • Permits control and monitoring of all basic ALPHA 87A functions
  • Provides fully detailed 87A status information
  • Offers simultaneous, real-time remote metering of major 87A parameters
    including Ig, Ip, Pout and Prefl
  • Can be customized to show more or less detail
  • Supports multiple ALPHA 87A amplifiers
                       
    Contact ALPHA/POWER to order a new ALPHA 87A amplifier with standard AlphaREMOTE™ & AlphaMAX™.  Or order firmware to retrofit your own 87A.
