Note

73, Oct 1986, p. 16. Announced in 73 magazine in October 1986, it was Ameco's first new product since 1976. Text from the ad: "The TPA may be used both as a preamplifier or an indoor active antenna. The unit covers 0.22 to 30 MHz and uses a dual-gale FET for about 20 dB gain. The unit operates either on a 9-volt battery or an AC adapter, and includes a whip antenna."
