Fred, Thanks for your comment. I have to assume you have a less then staller opinion of the Juma PA-100-D. Well with -28 db third order IMD this specification matches the K3-100's IMD spec. and this is with 100 watts out. All the reports I have gotton reported no problems with my signal, including those using panadaptors. You mentioned the price, well find a linear that had the same ability as the Juma PA100=D for less. It looks like it matches the new TenTech linear for around $700.
I am only a consumer, I have no business interest in Juma but for a little company started by 2 hams in Finland with a lot of design and engineering experience, they look amazingly alot like another company we all know when they first started out (Elecraft). Look at the schematics and read their theory of operation before you judge the Juma products. 73 Dave KD1NA David: Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes? (; While it is highly desirable to use a clean exciter, The only way a clean exciter can make a bad amp better is to enclose the amp in a feedback loop originating in the PA and terminating in the exciter. This can be done in a rig such as the K3/100 where both the amp and exciter are in the same box but is near impossible where you are dealing with 2 separate boxes. Simply: If the Juma is broke, the KX3 can't fix it. 73 Fred, AE6QL ______________________________________________________________ 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
