Hi Frank,
I would not expect the waterfalls for the JT modes to change because the JT
modes transmit only one tone at a time. Apart from turning the tx on and off,
the amplitude of the signal does not change. Therfore there is no source for
IMD that could result in a broader signal or

I love my KPA500. I don't use it enough because of all the low power digital I
do. I was wondering if the quality of my signal would better if I let the
KPA500 produce the output even if the wattage is 50 or less watts. If I drive
it with 1 to 5 watts, it produces 10 to 50 watts. I like

No. As the other person told you, the quality will not be made better by going
through another amplifier. Every
I think it's a good question, but I cannot answer it.
Most amps produce more distortion the more power they run.
The question is whether the sum of distortion from both amps at lower power
is less than one amp running at higher power.

I think the best solution would be to try it both ways and see what kind of
signal report you get. I'd be interested to see the two JT waterfalls
compared side by side.
