Then Elecraft can build us a 12 volt version of the KPA500.
Heaven help us, NO! The 12V amplifiers are marginally clean enough at 100W. A 500W 12V amplifier is likely to have IMD be much poorer than -30 dB PEP. What we really need is a 48V final for the K3/K3S (maybe at 200W) so we can see IMD in the -45 dB to -50 dB PEP range where it really should be. It's time to make a stand for cleaner signals ... not signals in the same class as the "no name" Italian and Chinese amplifiers. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 7/31/2016 8:30 PM, Dan Baker wrote:
Once the FCC removes the 15 dB gain limitation on amateur amplifiers *Petition for Rule Making* (*RM-11767* <http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=60001536394>) Then Elecraft can build us a 12 volt version of the KPA500. That would give us the ability to run our KX’s as a very effective mobile rig. This would compliment Elecrafts theme of products much more than a legal limit amp, that really you can find anywhere. 73, Dan KM6CQ Don't sacrifice your hobby for the right house. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
