IMHO it is a pity that the KPA500 does not have two output ports (well isolated), one to connect to an antenna, or a remote ATU, and /or antenna selector switches - the second output port to connect to a dummy load. I have been considering various linears capable of 500W - 1KW for use in the not too distant future.
Over the years I have found it very useful to be able to switch on the fly the output of a linear (and of an exciter) to a dummy load as a check should some gremlin appear during the heat of battle. 73, Geoff GM4ESD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
