I was Mike. The SB200 is rated at a maximum power of 1200 watts PEP sideband and 1000 watts CW. But that is DC *input* to the final amplifier tubes. That was how transmitters were commonly spec'd back then.
In use the SB200 runs about 500 to 600 watts RF output, which is fine for the KAT500 as you note from the specs. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Flowers Sent: Monday, September 09, 2013 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 and SB 200 Amp Hi Ron, Keep in mind the power limitations.
