Hi Arnold,
In this case "kit" probably refers to the whole assembly, all of the parts
that make the system, not a bag of electronic components.

RDAS tx kit? Would you give the link?

Subject: RE: Output power
Ok, so after further investigations, I found that the output at the 8th
pin of the BBA amplifier BBA-519-A (RF Output) is the same than the RF
input on the 4th pin of the amp... does that mean that the amp is dead?
I checked the GND pins, the VCC (steady at 4.93V) and everythings seems
find: i just don't get any amplification whatsoever...
Does the amp needs to be activated or triggered in some way??
Any help would be greatly appreciated...! If somebody has the Tx kit and
could check what he or she gets out of the amp...

Hi!
We bought the RDAS kit for our experimental rocket here at Université
Laval. We are now designing a new type of antenna for our system, and
transmitted power seems to be an issue.
We bought the kit 2007 AED R-DAS xmit V2.1 #01447. On the R-DAS web
site, we saw that the Linx amplifier BBA-519-A should give us up to 50mW
of transmitted output power. However, on a spectrum analyzer, we only
measure up to -22 dBm channel power between 910-930 MHz (we're using
channel 7) which is about 6microWatt...in our tests, all the impedances
were adapted.
We just saw on the module 3 pins that aren't connected or jumped. Are
those should "jumpered" to operate the amp ? Here's a pic of our system.
If you have the connection diagram or a datasheet of how the module
should be operated, it would be great: the system we have was bought a
couple of years ago, and the original team members are not here anymore,
and that's why we have such nOOb questions :)
Thanks!!
