I haven't used my KX1 in a while, but I noticed it is running over 6 watts when connected to a 13.8 volt power supply on 30 and 40 meters. 20 meters is about 4.2 watts and 80 meters is between 4.7 and 5.0 watts.
Is this excessive and will it cause damage or a dirty signal? If there is a problem, where should I begin my search? Internal batteries generate significanlty lower output: 80M 1.7W; 40M 2.5W; 30M 2.0W; 20M 1.8W Jim W6VAR -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX1-6Watts-on-30-40-tp5325218p5325218.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
