Hi George. I use a KX3 with a KPA500 as my everyday rig.
With the KX3 set for maximum output (12W) into resonant antennas (SWRs <1.5:1) in the CW portions of the band I see from 160W on 20M up to about 220W on 10M. I don't use SSB often enough to recall, but they in a similar range. Thus the real-world and the math agree. Operationally, the auto-band changing of the amp allows me to QSY and transmit without thinking about the amp - it just tracks nicely. However, I -do- usually give the amp a single dit in STBY mode to get the band right. No sense hot-switching everything needlessly. 73 Chris NW6V > On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 12:34 PM, George Rebong <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I would like to try this combination and wonder how many watts will I get >> out in the KPA-500. >> Happy Thanks Giving >> >> 73 >> George >> >> Sent from my iPad 3G ______________________________________________________________ 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
