High Power is like beauty it is in the eye of the beholder.
Being an OT'er anything beyond the basic 807 or pair of 6146's is High Power,
So my KPA500 is surely such.
My backup station which is a K2 driving a legal limit Ten Tec Titan sits
unused. Hard to beat the integration in the complete "K Line". However if a P5
operation becomes available the KPA500 may go on a temporary hiatus. I'd do a
station reconfiguration until that is in the log. In that pileup the legal
limit might be low power, Hi Hi...

David, it would depend on your context. For typical, day-to-day operations, I
would say anything over 200 watts is high power. Most contests recognize high
power as anything over 150 watts. If you are a QRPer, anything over 5/10 watts
(CW/SSB) is considered high power.
Personally, if I have my KPA500 on and am using it, I consider myself running
at high power, even if I'm only getting 300-350 watts out.

Subject: [Elecraft] OT - High Power?
What do you regard as “high power?” Is our beloved KPA500 at 500 watts a high
power device? Or do you have to have a big Alpha at legal limit?
