Until the KAT500 comes along I am presently using a two-position antenna switch connected to the amp's output. One line goes to my Rat Pak 6-position remote antenna switch, the other goes to my 12m rotatable dipole that I recently added to my ant. farm.
Yes, a few times I've forgotten to switch to the correct antenna while xmitting but the KPA500 has always warned me via all the flashing red LEDs and HI REFL PWR message (oops!)---at least to no ill effect, thanks to the brilliant Elecraft engineering. You might want to try this arrangement (and make a little sticker to remind you to have the switch set on the right antenna before xmitting like I did) in the meantime. 73, Jeff K3/100 #5528 P3 #1397 KPA500 #0250 KAT500 #someday soon, I hope -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Suggestions-for-using-the-KPA500-with-two-antennas-tp6907085p6910561.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
