I would probably be interested in this since I bought the K3/10 except that I have already bought an EB-27 kit for a 18w/300w PA from CCI. http://www.communication-concepts.com/appnotes/EB27A300Sharp.pdf
With 12w drive it will likely only reach 200w output, but my K3/10 has 16w output up to 15m; 8w 10/6m. I will try driving the EB-27 with the barefoot K3/10 to start with, but am looking at getting the TAPR Pennywhistle amplifier kit 20w HF/6m. It will only require about 1w from the K3 on all frequencies. Will I save anything over a KPA-100? Maybe not. Wonder how the new 100w amp will be priced compared to the KPA-100? For those that are curious: The EB-27 cost me $127; transistors $105; misc parts $150. The Pennywhistle is $77+shipping. Total approx. $400. I already bought a used Mirage A-1015G 10w/150w 6m amp. So I will have 300w HF and 150w 6m vs. 100w HF/6m. Kind of a poor-man's KPA-500. OK, not really comparable. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-testing*, 3400-?
