From related comments on the Elecraft reflector in the past few days
plus the data provided by these measurements, one would multiply the
input power by 15 and obtain an approximation for the output power.
There will be some variation from band to band, and some variation from
KPA500 to KPA50
Here are some measurements I made a couple of weeks ago with my FT-817 and
KPA500:
Band: FT-817 Out = KPA500 Out
160 Meters: 6.0 Watts = 70 Watts.
80 Meters: 5.8 Watts = 75 Watts.
40 Meters: 5.3 Watts = 75 Watts.
30 Meters: 5.1 Watts = 75 Watts.
20 Meters: 5.1 Watts = 75 Watts.
17 Meters: 5.0 W
Hi,
Out of curiosity ... those fortunate owners of the KPA500 could take
a look and let me know what output they produce when the input to the
amp is exactly 5W
Into a 1.3-1 SWR on 7250 I get right at 50 watts output for 5 watts input. My
dummy load is on back order from MFJ or I could be more
