The Hermes Lite 2 Needed More Power. Here's How I Got It to 100 Watts

The Xiegu GPA 100 linear amplifier takes the Hermes Lite 2 from 5 watts QRP to 100 watts on HF and 80 watts on 6 meters. In this video I review the GPA 100, cover its protection features and connectivity options, and show how I integrated it with the Hermes Lite 2 using the IO board, a Raspberry Pi Pico, and custom band switching firmware. No manual band changes needed.
