I don't think that Elecraft recommends any particular power. The amplifier will put out full power with acceptable distortion, but the lower quality receivers of others will easily overload and if you use more than a few watts it will prevent the use of the pass band by your neighbors and you will not be popular with them. They will tell you as they all want to be in the same SSB pass band so that they can see everybody at one time. Elecraft can't do anything about the quality of their competitors receivers.

I just ordered a KPA100 with the auto tuner for my KX3. In anticipation of the arrival of the amp I was looking at the operating manual online and did not see any recommended power setting for operating the amp with digital modes. I plan to use the amp for PSK31. What is the recommended max power setting for the amp using PSK31 with a KX3? Thanks, Glenn Maclean WA7SPY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net 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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
