For the NAQP cw party this past weekend, I ran low power. Rather than 'stress' the K3s with 100W, I chose to run 6W thru KPA500, giving me 100w.
During a one hour run period, 125+ Qs on 15m, I noticed the KPA500 temp at 51C which surprised me. Idle temp in the shack is generally around 33 to 35C. I expected much lower temp at 100w output. Why the higher temp and is it not related to power out? 73 Tom HP1XT ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
