Hi Mike, I use my K2/100 to drive an Ameritron ALS-600 solid state amp and it works very nicely with this caveat...the T/R relay in the amp is too "slow" to follow the T/R switching from the K2. I solved the problem by purchasing the Ameritron QSK-5 pin diode switch (expensive but gives you true QSK at the full output of the amp). K6XX on this reflector has another approach to this problem which involves a simple modification to the relay in the amp.
Also, at one time, I believe Wayne was going to look at lengthening the time between the T/R line going low and RF output from the K2. 73 and good luck, Doug W6JD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Stricker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 5:51 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K2 with external amplifier? Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the K2 (without the 100W option) driving a power amp, solid state (like an SGC, Ameritron, or an Icom) or tube (of the single 3-500Z variety). Thanks in advance. Mike, WA1SEO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
