The maximum power gain of a commercially built ham amplifier is mandated by FCC Rules. I don't recall the number, but 15dB sounds close. > I know that about 28 watts input from the K3 just "tickles" the 500 watt > output LED on the KPA500. That's about where I run it when using the amp. Yes, my K3 indicates 28-29W when I'm driving my KPA500 to full power,typically about 600W, which is pretty close to 15dB. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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
