Message-ID:
<004401d2aeda$395dfc50$ac19f4
I've been using my old HF-PACKER amp I've had about 7 yrs with the KX2.
2 watts in gives me 40watts out for portable ops here in Florida.
I use a Buddipole 5Ah battery for the amp and the internal battery in the KX2.
I was on the air every day for almost a week at Flamingo in the Everglades last
In an ideal world, perhaps. But much of the limit on what you can work
with 5W is not QRM, but rather the noise in the other station's receiver
(man-made and static) and the quality of his/her RX antennas.
I can give MANY examples of stations whose TX signal far out reach their
RX capability.

The KX2 is recommended to operate at 5 watts and below for digital modes.
When operating QRP, you are often at the noise level on the receiving end,
especially with compr

No it doesn't, at least for the engineers who created this little tuner.
Please check the Elecraft T-1 FAQ, :)

Since the KX2 runs 10 watts out, more or less, you're asking for external gear
to run only 5 dB better. I wouldn't consider something like that for even a

It would be a good idea if the KX2 could be modified in order to get the
Band Data signal from the ACC socket, for as it is now it only provides
with the Key Out signal. I don't know though how the Band info is
arranged in the Kx2/KXPA100 combo, may be some RF sensor?

Nice idea! Before Elecraft steps-in to this PA market, I am using with
great success and pleasure the Chinese MiNiPa50,:)
AT 5-6 W in from the Kx2 it yealds clean and healthy 45-50 W output on the
80-20m bands and around 40W on higher bands. 6,6A current consumption at
13-14V. No 6 m , no ATU
I'm enjoying my new KX2 transceiver! I'd like to see Elecraft make a
matching RF amplifier with about 35 watts output with 5 watts in. Include
an antenna tuner. Same size and shape and style as the KX2. Leave out the
SWR/wattmeter and the antenna switch. Use a manual bandswitch if it will
