I just ordered a Mini-Circuits "ZFSC-4-1" 4 Way Splitter/Combiner and a Mini-Circuits "ZFL-1000LN" 15v Amplifier.
The "ZFL-1000LN" has a dB gain depending on voltage as follows:
12V = 19.9dB
15V = 23.50dB
16V = 24.14dB
Can I connect a variable power supply to control the output voltage, in return controlling the dB gain on the fly?
I'm wondering if changing the input voltage on the amplifier while my scanners are connected will cause damage to anything?
This will be used for monitoring only and no TX.
Both units are wide-band from 1Mhz to 1Ghz & .1Mhz to 1Ghz respectively.
The units can be found here:
