Nice idea.... Once the 15dB limit is removed, you can use the 10 watt to drive the KPA1500 or (gain limit modded) any amp you choose...
If you found a dead 100W K3 PS, you could use the bracketing, back panel, et al as needed... Lot of room if you dump the PS... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 5/5/2017 7:23 PM, Harry Yingst via Elecraft wrote: > At one point I considered taking a K3/10 and installing Transverters where > the PA deck would go. > > > > From: Bill Johnson <[email protected]> > To: Phil Hystad <[email protected]>; Elecraft <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, May 5, 2017 7:17 PM > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] VHF+UHF Radio Wish List > > Phil, > > Wayne and Eric are smart dudes, for sure.
