Rhode & Schwarz SK080 with classic anode/screen modulation,
built in 1959. 100% tube-based, 800 Watts RF, sucks 3.4 kVA (one
phase!). Radio Delta engineers target=_new href="http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect.php?https://radiodelta.am/2021/03/27/rhode-schwarz-sk080/">refurbished
this beautiful vintage AM broadcast transmitter. We used this
transmitter in the 80’s on shortwave 7325kHz style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal;">. The
R&S SK080 has a nice internal modulator with 2 x QB3/300
tubes with a
brilliant AM modulation. This
R&S SK080 transmitter could modulate around 800 watt nom.
Many dutch pirate stations use the smaller R&S SK010 with
external modulator, this transmitter can modulate around 130
Watt nom.

The R&S SK family was in used by the German Army during 60’s
and beginning 70’s. During the 80’s and 90’s this army surplus was
sold to handlers. It was in the past rather simple to buy such a
gear in Germany and Holland. Later became the R&S SK1 (1 kW
max carrier power AM, + USB and LSB ) popular. But there mintage
was much much less. R&S transmitters have the quality of a
“mercedes” car.
