If you can run 200 watts PEP with the TR7, why run a 500 watt amp?
Otherwise, you'll need a 10dB attenuator between the TR7 and the
KPA500. Hence turn 180 watts of RF from the TR7 into heat as it takes
only about 20 watts to drive the KPA500 to rated output.

Greetings from Barcelona
I have here a K3-KPA500 setup that runs great
I also have a TR7 and I am thinking about using it together with the KPA500 The
obvious problem: The TR7 delivers a lot of watts (200 pep).
Is it an idea to discard? Or is there any reasonable approach to? ALC control
is not a good idea I think
As an alternative (500-1000 W), is there any small (in size) linear to
consider? I don't want to go back to the big tube linears. The KPA500 is great
for what I want to have here.
