Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft) Linear thoughts

[Ken K6MR]

Not at all. My KPA500s/KAT500s are in the closet. Heat, noise, clutter all away 
from the desk.  The remote programs sit unobtrusively on the screen for 
monitoring.  The amps/tuners follow the radios automagically.

I can concentrate on making Qs.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Linear

[Dave Cole]

I have a short review, and some heat/cool graphs of the ALS-1306 at:
http://nk7z.net/review-of-ameritrons-als-1306-amplifier/
I also have it connected to my K3, and it is now working great, follows 
the bands, etc.


73s and thanks,

Re: [Elecraft] (Elecraft) Linear thoughts

[Thomas Donohue]

Hi to all:

I had the strong suspicion based on what I heard an Elecraft rep say at last 
years Dayton Hamvention that a 1500W linear was being worked on; so, I was not 
surprised by Eric's request. My input is as follows: (1) 1500W+ output, key 
down; (2) light weight (30 lbs or less); if the 30lbs is not doable in a single 
unit, then the power supply could be put in a separate box; (3) capability to 
support two transceivers, much like the current Yaesu Quadra; and (4) full 
computer control of amp and transceiver(s) I'll leave the detailed suggestions 
to those much more qualified than I to make. Finally, I will purchase one at 
Dayton if it is available, sight unseen, based on the Elecraft history of 
producing high quality products, and most importantly, updating and supporting 
them throughout their life cycle. Thanks Elecraft for all that you do.

Best 73,
Tom/W1QU

[Elecraft] Elecraft Linear Amp/TE Systems

[Dick Hanson]

Another feature, not well known nor advertised, is that their (TE Systems)
amps have active bias.
This greatly improves their linearity and cuts down on local splatter. 
Many of the existing solid state amps do not have any sort of stabilized
bias which is why so many of them on 6, 2 and 432 sound so bad.

   Another good choice for a medium-power 6M solid-state amp is the TE
   Systems 0552G, made in USA, a very robust unit that will put out
   400W (1:15) into a 50 ohm load. It runs cool without a fan at
   CW/SSB duty cycles, and will handle key-down carrier modes with the
   addition of a fan on top of the heatsink. Love mine...

   For those with no familiarity with TE Systems, I gather that they
   do a lot of military contracts and do the ham stuff as kind of a
   sideline. (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.) They don't advertise,
   they have no website, and vendors purporting to be distributors for
   them typically have no actual stock, so you might as well order
   direct from TE. Their phone number is (310) 478.0591.

They do advertise in QST every now and then.

   The chances of finding a used for sale on the ham market are
   slim. People tend not to sell them once they get them. I looked for
   a used one for a month before giving up and ordering a new one.

I recently picked up a 400W 2M TE Systems amp on eBay for a reasonable
price, so don't give up too quickly.  But they're not common.  I'm not
really happy with high-current low (13.8V) voltage devices, but

[Elecraft] Elecraft Linear Amp

Does anyone know if the two linear amplifiers that were shown on the Dayton 
pictures will cover six meters??

I hope so as I was thinking of purchasing a Tokyo Hy-Power next year but would 
rather stay with a good ole U S of A company since the boyz at Elecraft know 
what they are doing for sure ! !

A good power supply for it is the Astron RS-70M, a big linear job that just 
sits there and works. A well-designed and filtered switcher would work fine, 
too -- I just have a love of the good old big iron types.  :-)

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Linear Amplifiers

 I have searched the reflector for information regarding the status
 of the Elecraft linear amplifiers without any responsive hits.

I seem to recall that, as part of the K3 announcement, Wayne said that
they had been pushed back in an effort to get the K3 into production.
