From my measurements, the IMD of both the K3 100W PA and the 10W amp improve by around 10 dB at 1/4 power. In my shack running the K3 at 20 ~ 25 Watts works very well into an Acom 1000 linear for the UK power limit of 400 Watts.
73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 -------------------------------- "Squeezing higher power out degrades the IMD." SO... The "10 watt" amp feeds the 100 w PA? Does it get fed with 10 watts or 12 watts? What does that mean to the IMD of the 100 w PA by the cause of the degraded IMD being fed into the PA? 73, de Jim KG0KP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
