I personally don't know how you manage to get new products to market as
quick as you do. Most of all when you do so many new ones so close together.
I know structure and size have a lot to do with it but you seem to have them
down pat with very few glitches with the products.

Doug-
If you are referring to the KX3 driving the KPA500 (there are no dashes in
these product models) then- yes, many people do this. I get just almost
exactly 13 dB gain from the KPA500 when driven by the KX3.

The KPA500 here produces 13-14 dB gain on most bands. 13 dB is a factor
of 20, so 10 watts from the KX3 results in about 200 watts out to the

Tnx for the info, Dave. When I joined the list a few years ago, everything
went into its proper subfolder, and I just assumed it was an automated

As Elecraft products continue to grow in number and popularity, a single

After I posted several queries about the same thing, I got an email back from
Wayne concerning that thermal pad. It seems it's not really needed unless the
KAT500 is going to be used in an extremely high heat envrionment. Wayne said
something about the middle of summer in Death Valley.
We traditionally used colored nail polish to match the special paint the
USAF used on hardware. I think the color was there to make it obvious that
the fasteners had been treated. I would expect clear would work as well,
although it will certainly be visible because it'll be glossy.

Fingernail polish uses acetone which, of course, will soften *some*

and the end result is quick-drying, chemically stable coating.
Of course there is always Glyptal which uses xylene for its solvent. That,
