You can always drive a linear amp with a QRP signal, but under FCC rules, producing more than 480 watts out with 15W in is prohibited for a type-accepted amplifier (15 db gain). err, why not just build up another KPA-100 and leave it with the KPA800? 73, doug _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
