I don't see 10 watts as a problem. How many 2 meter amps do you have on the shelf just waiting to be used again? 40 w 15 years old ($90 new then), two converted police amps (ugly but they work well) both run over 85 watts continuous with 5 watts in ($50) at hamfests if there any still around) and a 140 w that takes 2 watts drive for full power and the other is a 160 w that runs full output at 35 watts and over half of that from an ht (don't remember exactly how much). 10 watts a problem? - i just don't see it.
Lots of external amps out there. 73, Jim KG0KP ----- Original Message ----- From: "K3JPS" <k3jps....@gmail.com> To: "David Ferrington, M0XDF" <m0...@alphadene.co.uk> Cc: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 144mhz power > One could always purchase or build there own external 2m linear as an > option. > > 73 de James > > On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 10:58 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF < > m0...@alphadene.co.uk> wrote: > >> That's what it says - I doublt the KPA3 is designed to handle 2m and >> the module has it's own Ant. socket. >> -- >> In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, >> but in practice there is. >> >> On 14 May 2009, at 15:55, Rick Braun wrote: >> >> > Is the 144 mhz module limited to 10 watts, even in a K3/100? >> >> ______________________________________________________________ >> Elecraft mailing list >> Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft >> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm >> Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net >> >> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html >> > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
