About 1/4 S-unit. For the risk of violating whatever component ratings, I'd leave it at 13.8V.

When I put 14.9 v (max output from the pwr supply), I'll get 4.1 watts out of the KX1. A 1 watt increase, not a lot of difference I know, but every little bit helps. Here's the question, does it, or will it hurt the KX1 in the long run, running 14.9 volts into the radio, I know the manual says 14 v. Does that .9 v make any difference to the PA, or should I just stick to my 13.8 v and 3 watts ?? I love the little radio, even thou I have the KX3, and don't want to hurt it ! It's just so simple and easy to operate, and FUN !! (I'll never get rid of it !!) Thanks...... 72/73 de Ed N7EDK ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
