Re: [Elecraft] Ground rod through concrete thread?

[Richard Fjeld]

I have always thought the best way to avoid a lightning strike is to bleed off 
any build up of energy that may be on the antenna.

Many have seen this video of the two guys climbing a 1768 foot TV antenna 
tower.  It clearly shows devices to dissipate energy.
There is one right at the very top when they get there, but not fully shown as 
the others are.

There is a short animation in the beginning.  This is not for weak hearts.

Check the SPE 2k and 1.3k prices for another near competitor. I would think 
they show the range if likely numbers.

Re: [Elecraft] The K2 sure is a nice sounding radio

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I built a k2 years ago and sold it off as I was moving to help with the care of 
my elderly father.
I had forgotten how nice the K2 sounds

I only operate CW, but I've always thought the K2 was a very pleasant radio to 
listen to. I have one with DSP and one with the AF filter and I prefer the 
sound of the AF filter too. I've tried a couple of separate speakers, but still 
prefer the internal speaker for some reason. There aren't a lot of radios that

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 500 vs New 1500 watt amp

[Scott Manthe]

One S-unit in a pile-up or on a noisy band can be a big deal. If all you 
do is rag chew in low noise environments then maybe you wouldn't notice. 
In the noise on the low bands or if you're trying to break a pile up, 
that 4.5 dB means you're a lot louder than someone else. Whether that is 
worth the price is up to the op to decide, but the myth that the 1KW 
difference in power makes no difference is just that, a myth.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 500 vs New 1500 watt amp

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

Well you might consider this.  I do a lot of DXing from J6.  Typically the
pile-ups are hundreds if not more people calling once it gets going.  That 1
s-unit difference can mean the difference between working the DX or the band
going out before you do.   It's personal, right?  Kinda of reminds me of the
"I really don't need the horsepower of a corvette" argument.  Yep, maybe you
don't and we all can't be driving corvettes.  But having one SURE IS FUN!

the perfect size and weight to be carried as luggage.

So, based on Wayne's last little snippet about weight, here's a few 
ideas for everyone to toss around.

1. It will have a separate power supply.  I'd estimate the weight for a 
good 3kw switcher in the 10-12 lb area.
2. The tuner will be another separate unit.  No idea on a weight for 
this one.

Re: [Elecraft] If you're going to Visalia ...

[charlie carroll]

So, based on Wayne's last little snippet about weight, here's a few 
ideas for everyone to toss around.


1. It will have a separate power supply.  I'd estimate the weight for a 
good 3kw switcher in the 10-12 lb area.
2. The tuner will be another separate unit.  No idea on a weight for 
this one.

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Chuck Chandler]

I work at a university. One day I asked around the Physical Plant if any of
the electricians did side jobs. One stopped by that afternoon and I
explained what I wanted. He quoted me a great price and the next day after
work he and another guy showed up. Less than 45 minutes later I plugged in
the amp.

It is amazing how quickly a pro can do the job. Sometimes it's worth the
money.

If we are going to announce something like everyone is talking about, we are

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Jim Kutsch]

No, it's not times that have changed; it's the sunspot cycle that has
changed. QRP for sunspot cycle peaks and QRO for all-time minimums.

The K line started with QRP levels and now they may be up to a 1500W amp?

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Phil Hystad]

The last four numbers that are clipped by the top region of the photo are all 
four-digit numbers or so it appears.  But, I really looks like the first of 
those four digit numbers is 1100 but the second of them looks most like 1000.  
However, the far right number does look like 1500 more than anything else but 
the 3rd number (from the left) in the list could be 1300.  But, the mystery is 
why does the first number look like 1100 when the second one looks like 1000.

To read these, I blew up the photo image about a 4 or 5 time zoom level.

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Dauer, Edward]

It might, but at typical efficiencies 1500W peak output would be a significant 
draw on the existing 117 VAC wiring – likely over 20 amps.  With the K3/KPA500 
as it is I get a just perceptible flicker in the room lights when keying.  With 
a dedicated 240 volt line I could also add a cooler for the drinks.

Guess I have to get an electrician to come out and give me another quote on 
a dedicated 240 VAC line to the shack.

And all new baluns.

And I have to check if the remote antenna switch relays are rated for more 
than 600 watts; if not, then replace that.

Several hundreds of feet of coax to replace all of the ’58, right?

Ferrite chokes and bypass caps on the external lighting around the house, 
and on the outside motion detectors.

Anything I’ve left out?

Not so fast on the 240 VAC line Ted.  The single transistor SPE 1.3K will do 
1500 watts on 110v. It will be interesting to see if the Elecraft 1500w AMP 
turns out to be a single transistor design...

Guess I have to get an electrician to come out and give me another quote on 
a dedicated 240 VAC line to the shack.


And all new baluns.

And I have to check if the remote antenna switch relays are rated for more 
than 600 watts; if not, then replace that.


Several hundreds of feet of coax to replace all of the ’58, right?

Ferrite chokes and bypass caps on the external lighting around the house, 
and on the outside motion detectors.


Anything I’ve left out?

Just so you know  you CAN do all the work yourself, save a bundle,
AND get it constructed precisely the way YOU want it.

All the rest of that just gives you some fun stuff to do

There is ALWAYS one more thing you can do...  ;)

[Clay Autery]

Don't really care...  Just hope we are allowed to assemble them.

While investigating the construction of an amp and power supply that
would do legal limit and integrate adequately with a K3s, et al., I
discovered that it probably could not be done for less than $6K+
assuming no need to buy tooling, etc.  Likely some bit more to do it
"right".

Sorry, you took too long.  I retired the previous QRO amp, bought a KPA500 and 
ripped out the 240V service to the shack.

Re: [Elecraft] A little theory - speculation on new product?

[Buck]

I was thinking the same thing yesterday.  Something is brewing in the 
Elecraft skunk works and they're getting it ready for Dayton.  That is 
keeping Wayne and Eric too busy to play moderator.  So let's all go 
crazy and guess:


K4? KPA 1500?

Rick, but logic would indicate this is a 1500 watter.  Otherwise, the 500 would 
only be 000

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Rick WA6NHC]

So now the standard questions are:

Matching KAT1500 (internal) tuner?   With the same 10:1 range as the 
KAT500?


Price(s)?

Availability?

Very cleverly done Wayne, kudos.  No I don't have to be concerned with 
mixing/matching amps to the K line.  Nice!

[Bill Johnson]

And note the different TX button than on the 500! At the top of the photo note 
that the last 5 parts of numbers visible are all 4 digit labels so my guess is 
that here comes the 1500 watt amp for viewing.  Note the feet are not bail 
type.  Either a working prototype or a new release.

Nice cropping on the JPG

Cut off maybe a 1 and some output values.

While waiting I'll check my checking account balance.

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Rick WA6NHC]

I could see that, it depends on the font (none of the exiting K line 
displays a 9) it lets the other numbers that are ALMOST shown 
(clever) make more sense.  If that is the case, it's showing full legal 
(US) limit output with room to spare.



Woohoo!  An Elecraft legal limit amp!  The KPA1500 lives again! I still 
hope for a matching (if not internal but doubtful) tuner with the same 
range as the KAT500, but on the other hand, if one is running THAT much 
energy, a resonant antenna is a little more critical need.
