The Alga Microwave NJALKU-12 is a high quality 12-Watt (10-Watt P1db) BUC (transmitter) for V-Sat applications.

Unlike most BUCs in this category, the NJALKU-12 does not require an expensive 48VDC power supply and power inserter kit. All you need is an AC outlet!

Each BUC is individually tested and comes with a complete test score sheet

This is a "stock" item, usually available for same day shipping.
