Hi to the group A few days ago someone asked questions about the KXPA100-AT and at the time I wished for the same information. I got mine yesterday and I am looking forward to using it on the SKN tonight and tomorrow. I have it hidden behind the second monitor for my computer so my station now gets out better but it still looks the same.
Frequency 14.025 mhz My power supply is set for 15 Volts The KX3 receive is 0.198 Amps The KXPA100-AT off draws 0.001 Amps The non transmitting but on amp draws 0.382 Amps The amp putting out 12 watts 4.9 Amps The KX3 set for 100 watts out 1.415 Amps The KX3 and KXPA100-AT at 100 watts out 15.8 Amps Drain shown in the UTILITY 13.0 Amps Dropped voltage to 12.0 volts and current 15.0 Amps at 100 Watts Drain at 12 Volts read 11.4 Amps at 100 Watts Please do not attack the accuracy of the measurements. My digital meter can not measure over 10 amps so the lower current measurements were made with it and the higher current measurements were read on the meter in my Alenco DM-330MV power supply. I do a lot of camping using a large battery. I feel this should be comparable to how my K2 and it's 100 watt amplifier performed. I hope this information is useful to the other hams that are interested in how the KXPA100-AT performs.
