Does anyone have one they aren’t using now?

Good Evening,
I started the Elecraft CW net on June 6th, 2002 to commemorate my
uncle's action on that date in 1944. He started early, loading into a
plane for a short flight across the Channel. Then jump out of a
perfectly good aircraft, in the dark, while getting shot at. They were

At high power the KPA1500 is the most efficient. At lower power it will
generate the same internal heat or more.

FT8 is a weak signal mode, designed for low power. Given its high duty
cycle, you are asking for trouble if you operate your power amplifier in FT8
A buddy and I are working on setting up his k3/0 -> my K4 remote link using
Remotehams. When he adjusts the AF gain on his K3/0 there is no change in the
audio level at his end (the audio level varies here on the K4). The AF gain
works fine when adjusted on the RcForb Remotehams client at his en

As others have observed, that is WRONG.

Hi Kevin,
The K2 is only rated 100% duty cycle at 5 Watts and 50% duty cycle at 10 Watts.
Even though it will put out 15 Watts it should only be run there on SSB and CW
and then sparingly. It should not be run on digital modes above 10 Watts and
really should not be run at more than 5 Watts on d

It isn't "designed for low power." I don't, nor will I have, a KPA1500, but I
run my KAT500 at 400-500 W on FT8 without incident.

It is a weak signal mode, not necessarily a low power mode.
If a station you need for new country is -24 and is running 1500 watts then
most likely he will not hear you at low power. You will need to run QRO.
Use the power needed to make the contact.

FT8 is a weak signal mode, designed for low power. Given its high duty cycle,
you are asking for trouble if you operate your power amplifier in FT8 mode
using your KPA1500 at anywhere near high power. I burned out my final on my K2
at 15 watts on FT8.

Tim mentioned “A local here has a loaded K2/100 that he's been trying to
sell for
a while but has only received what he perceives as low offers”
Bear in mind the K2 has been around for over 20 years, and was built
from a kit by hams with variable degrees of soldering skills and had
quite a few m

Yes, the KPA1500 will drop 10% of the output, as it warms up. 1500 drops
to 1350, so you have to compensate with the drive.
But DON'T do that on 6M with keydown modes, where the efficiency is lowest.

Elecraft engineer (and neighbor) K6XX told me that it's a characteristic
of the output devices.
