Isn't there some sort of "jumper" or ???, that will increase the gain to something other than the ridiculous and prohibitive +13 dB figure, for "international" (wink-wink) sales, sorta like the "MARS" mod in almost all radios these days?
99.9% of the chicken band users today are happy with their 5 watt radios. However, that restrictive and useless +13 gain law does NOTHING to stop the REALLY big guns on 27.025 who typically run amps using tubes that have HANDLES on them! (I've personally seen channel 6 mobile set-ups running power in excess of 25 kilowatts.) 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Nr4c Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 3:14 PM To: Paul Gacek <[email protected]> Cc: Don Putnick <[email protected]>; Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Future of KPA500 & KAT500 The KAT500 has three antenna out ports. It only needs one In so the KPA500 needs only one out port. As for the 10 W in and 500 out idea. That is prohibited by law. They’re only allowed to sell an amp with max gain of 13dB.
