I've been watching the details regarding the as-yet-to-be-released Elecraft KPA-500 amplifier. I presently own a QRP rig which puts out 5w but, eventually, I'll upgrade to a 100w PA. My question is whether the KPA-500 would function adequately with the QRP rig. Presuming 15db power gain, I would see about 150w output or 75w output with 12db gain. Putting aside the obvious question as to why someone would want to pair a $2k amplifier with a $600 radio, does anyone see any reason why this wouldn't be advisable? I've never owned any type of amplifier before so I am in the clueless category when it comes to issues related to driving an amplifier. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
