OM Power was founded in 2004 as an

Power has grown to become a successful and well established company in the
production of amateur radio power amplifiers. Their amplifiers can be
found on all continents and almost in every country of the world and

Array Solutions has worked closely with OM Power to
produce versions of their amplifiers suitable for the North American
market including FCC Certification. All of their products have CE
approval in Europe, and the first amplifier that will be offered is the
model OM2500A.
The new OM2500A USA Version has a single AC
Power cord connection, connections for your computer, radio, and other
accessories. Note:
FCC approval has been granted for this amplifier as

The amplifier will provide full legal limit output (all modes) with no

Please visit the
OM Power Website to see the many different products they currently
manufacture. Array solutions will not be able to offer all of them into the
USA and North American market, but we are confident that these new exciting
products will be popular in the USA and therefore we will bring as many of
them to market as possible. Additional specifications, brochures and
downloadable user manuals will be posted here soon.
OM Power makes many other models of amplifiers and Array Solutions will be
working with OM Power to make many of them available to the North American
market. One of the early amplifiers to be introduced after the 2500, is the
first of a series of solid state VHF and UHF amplifiers, the OM 1002. This
is a 1kW solid state amplifier for 2 meters, producing 1kW output. As we
have more information on other models, it will be posted here.
We are now accepting orders for the 2500A or the 2500HF amplifiers. We
anticipate delivery in January. These amplifiers are very heavy
(approximately 100 lbs) and require two people to remove from the shipping
pallet and carton to safely position on your desktop or other desired
location.
The price on our pricelist includes all international shipping from OM
Power, customs costs and delivery by UPS Freight within the USA. Delivery
elsewhere is possible, but contact Array Solutions for additional shipping
costs estimates.
