Having used the KPA1500 long enough to be confident that mine has no obvious bugs, I am trying to decide whether to keep my KPA500 / KAT500 or put it up for sale.
One possibility would be to use the 500s with a K2. I have a K2 with the integral KPA100, and two without. The K2/100 has an RCA jack for the amp keying line which should make things easy - just connect one end to the KPA100 and the other to the KPA500, yes? Using a K2 alone as driver for the KPA500 is the question. There must be an amplifier keying line somewhere in the K2 circuitry, since it can key a KPA500 in the two-box "twins" configuration; but there is no mechanical output for it. Anyone done this who can help with ideas? What kind of output from the KPA500 is possible with a barefoot K2 driving it? Anything else I should know before trying this out? The band data is not a problem in either case, since the KPA500 has a one-dit sensing circuit which will be adequate. (It also has band selection buttons, of course.) Tnx, as always, for any advice, Ted, KN1CBR ______________________________________________________________ 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]
