The GainMaker Node is available in the following forward bandwidths. 

 

1 GHz 

The GainMaker Node is available with the following amplifier types. 

 

High Gain Dual (HGD) 

 

High Output High Gain Dual (HO HGD) 

The GainMaker Node is available in the following reverse/forward path splits. 

 

40/52 MHz (Standard or High Output) 

 

42/54 MHz (Standard or High Output) 

 

55/70 MHz (Standard Output) 



GainMaker Node amplifier modules have the following characteristics. 

 

-20 dB test points, located electrically outside of the diplex filter, provide testing 

of forward output signals and reverse input signals without disrupting normal 

operation 

 

Upgradeable from the GainMaker amplifier 

 

Room for optional status monitoring transponder on housing lid 

 

Direct module plug into the housing provides superior amplifier heat sinking 

 

Symmetrical housing and modules provide convenient mounting 

 

AC circuitry provides 15 A of steady-state current capability that is able to 

withstand 25 A of peak current (for a maximum of 2 hours) 

 

Surge-resistant circuitry provides improved resistance to high voltage transients 

 

Coated housing protects outdoor equipment in coastal areas and other corrosive 

environments 

 

Input and output reverse pad locations to increase flexibility in reverse path 

design and alignment 

This node can also be set up to operate at 870 MHz by using 870 MHz equalizers.
