Where this data comes from

Ukrainian-made transmitter: 80 channels (ten bands of eight) over 7060-8500 MHz, an aluminium heatsink with a fan, controlled over IRC Tramp. FT Systems quotes measured RF output of 3920-8010 mW across the range rather than one figure, because the amplifier does not deliver the same power at every frequency - the 5000 mW here is the nominal top setting. No weight: the product page says 50 g and the maker's manual 56 g (the page gives 64.13x37.2x17.2 mm, the manual 64.13x37.4x18.8 mm), so the two maker sources disagree one against one. Outside the 5.8 GHz band this is not a licence-free link in most countries; check local rules before transmitting. FT prints the connector as 'SMA female'; the column holds one spelling per connector.
