It's been working very well. I thought I'd share how this is implemented, in case anyone else is interested. One of these days, I'll try the KPA-100, but for now I'm able to enjoy the K2 at the "standard" 100 watt power level with what I have in the shack. (No, I haven't tried driving the amplifier with the Sierra !) 73, Chuck NI0C K2 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
