I agree that 200 watts inside the K3 isn't a good idea (heat) but having an external (300-400 watt?) amp that could be driven by 10 watts of input (key point here!) would be sweet!
This amp could be used by all the Elecraft rigs, not just the K3. For contests turn it up to the low power limit per the rules. On 30m, run full power and be a big gun. I assume a lower power amp (1/2 KW) would be considerably cheaper to build & buy. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: Fred Atchley Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA-200 Actually Gary, KPA-200 sounds like a good idea. I like contesting and prefer low power. The problem is that different contests define "low power" as 100, 150 or 200 W. It would be nice to optimize low power for any given contest. BTW, I wonder if the KAT3 would also need to be replaced. 73, Fred ______________________________________________________________ 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
