Can I add another dimension? I have an Acom 1000 which is fitted with the additional rear panel fan for fairly quiet 1 KW continuous carrier capability, it's a good amplifier for the shack and covers 160 - 6m with a measured 1 KW into a dummy load. For an output of 400 Watts the Acom needs around 20 ~ 40 Watts drive and comfortably works well from a K3.
The UK power limit is currently 400 Watts and I feel the reduced weight of the KPA500 more than compensates for the difference in power and the cost is similar, even allowing for expensive shipping of a kit from the USA, etc. I am looking to get a KPA500 once the ordering to delivery time closes a little. I prefer to sell the Acom first and don't want to be without an amplifier for too long... If anyone in the UK is looking to buy an Acom 1000 in good condition, contact me off list. 73 Dave, G4AON ______________________________________________________________ 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
