Some discussion lately on using the K2 to drive the HF Packer Amp. I bought the amp kit some time ago and have not yet built it. My main reason for buying was to use it to beef up a KX1 signal. Has anyone had any experience driving the Packer Amp with a KX1? My KX1 puts out 4 watts on 40

That may be TOO much drive for the HF PAcker! I drive one on 160-20 meters with a K1 and it takes about 1.5-2.0 watts to make the HF Packer deliver 35 watts out. If you can't control the power output of the KX1, then you may have to change the values of the attenuator network in the input path
