Well that was fun. Both nets had alright propagation. Nothing to write home to mom about but OK. A wide variety of QRN types as well as the ever present QSB. Then there are the tests: a weak KX3 signal from the wilds of Minnesota, 400 watts from Central California, and then an ear testing

I have just finished building a K2 and the KPA100 as one of my options. After sending the radio and all the components to Mr. Don Wilhelm, W3FPR, I realized I needed the KAT100 tuner to work with my antennas. So I have decided to leave my K2 as a basic rig and sell the KPA100. The KPA100 is

The KX3 and KX2 max heat sink temperature is 63 C. At that point power is automatically dropped to 5 W. If it reaches the max temp again, transmit is exited. Wayne N6KR > On Aug 6, 2017, at 10:27 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > > A well designed output stage SHOULD be

A well designed output stage SHOULD be hot to the touch. The temperature component of protection in Elecraft output stages seems to kick in when the internal temperature approaches 70 deg C. You can see this, for example, by watching temperature in the KPA500 and listening to fan speed. The

My thoughts exactly, Clay. I have a KPA/KAT500 on my Rig 2 and also use them when operating the station remotely. I'm replacing them with a KPA1500, but I'm sore tempted to hang on to the 500s for portable use. 73, /Rick N6XI On Sun, Aug 6, 2017 at 8:33 AM, Clay Autery wrote:
