AZR-610 , AZR-205 and AZR-705 Linear Amplifiers.
Azden Co., Ltd. exhibited three compact and highly efficient monoband linear amplifiers for the 50, 144, and 430 MHz bands at its booth at Ham Fair 2024. All of them comply with the new spurious standards. Prices and release dates have yet to be determined.

Azuden currently sells the AZR-1000 as a 1kW linear amplifier for the HF/50MHz band, but they also exhibited three sister models of monoband linear amplifiers for the V/UHF band (the 50MHz band 1kW “AZR-610“, the 144MHz band 500W “AZR-205“, and the 430MHz band 500W “AZR-705“). All of them use LDMOS and switching power supplies, which makes them lightweight (approximately 8kg) and compact (250W x 150H x 380Dmm).

The AZR-205 for the 144 MHz band and the AZR-705 for the 430 MHz band are products that are also aimed at overseas markets, but in Japan, if they are used for EME (lunar surface interference communications), it is possible that a license for a maximum antenna power of 500W may be obtained after review and inspection by the Regional Telecommunications Bureau.
