When we received this amplifier, it was, and is, cosmetically challenged. We normally put new captures on the bench for a local test, but in this case, we took an extra step and sent it to a company that specializes in repair and refurbishing of Paradise products.

Although no repairs were needed, they did update a few components and then declared it good for resale.

The frequency range of the BUC is 13.75 to 14.5 GHz. The LO frequency is 12.8 GHz. The BUC uses AC power and has an internal 10 MHz reference and is Ethernet Enabled. The model number is HPAK2250BCMXXXXG.

The unit surpasses specification, fully tested, makes full power, current GaN technology BUC, ethernet enabled, will come with power cord and ethernet M&C Cable.

The test data is shown in the downloads TAB.

Important! If the Compact Outdoor SSPA is powered up with the Quick Start cable attached to J4, the user may change the IP settings used to communicate with the unit. If the SSPA is powered up before the cable is attached to J4, it will use the default IP settings as configured at the factory.

Important! To communicate with a Compact Outdoor SSPA with Ethernet via RS-232 while using Quick Start cable P/N L202151 (used with previous generations of Compact Outdoor SSPAs), the old Quick Start cable harness will need to be modified. To do so, open the MS connector shell and connect the chassis and communication ground pins together (Pins V and d).
