Oh, no, I was not hoping for full power out with 5W in. I was just wondering if I could expect up to 100W out with 5M in (assuming a max 13dB gain), or is it somehow limited or inefficient with such low drive power. I would just like to have only one amp I could use to bring something like a K1 or K2 up to 50-100W and also use to bring a a 40W AM/CW rig up to 800W.
I guess I may just have to wait until the web site announces official specs and ask when I see them. dt . --- Lee Buller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What I found is that the amp needs to have around 50 > watts to be driven to full output.
