I figure when that KPA1500 comes out there will be a few KPA500/KAT500 units up for sale ;-) I'm thinking to add a used set to my K3S/100 and would like advice on adapting my system.
At present, my remote ATUs are only rated to 100W (LDG RC/RT100 at base of G5RV) and 200W (MFJ-927), so I'll need to bump those up. In fact, I might recall the WA2NAN True-Talk 102ft G5RV was rated to 100W maximum, but I'm not sure and can't find information on the internet. Might be used of a 500W rated remote ATU at base will allow 500W or could the antenna construction of that G5RV be limiting? My other antenna is a DX Engineering 43ft vertical which looks to be rated to 1500W with a different remote base ATU. All of my Common Mode Chokes are rated to 500W or more. My current connectors are PL-259/SO239. I might need to replace a few lightning arresters rated 400W PEP? Appreciate advise and comments - especially if the bump from 100W to 500W will be worth the trouble!
