Hello Ed, GL and I hope to work you on 6m soon! Both KL7NO and KL7/KB7Q were in here quite nicely on SSB the other night :-) Sorry I missed you!
I don't know how many K3 owners are in your situation, but the Es season sure would be a good time to add another 10 or 20 dB on 6m! I have a little 300w solid state amp (6M300PA built by Down East Microwave), that might be of interest. I had been hanging onto it as a spare, but I do also have an 800w Harris TV XMTR that I could use as a spare. Both amps run on 48 VDC. I have not pushed the 6M300PA because there may be no good way to get replacement transistors for it anymore, but with 46 VDC on it and a little less than 2 watts drive, I got 200w output. 3 watts drive took it up to 300w output. A person sure would want to be sure they didn't overdrive it or have any power spikes on XMIT, but a low power K3 should really work FB with it. I would consider parting with it for $400. I can provide a power supply for another $25. Shipping would be extra.
