] Amp Thoughts: 1000 watts or 1500 watts?
In some cases a dB or so CAN make a difference. Otherwise, why bother to
put a ½dB noise figure GaAsFET pre-amp at the antenna just to overcome 2dB
of feedline loss?
At the other extreme, if you are being received at 20dB over S-9 running a
kilowatt, you'll

While a couple dB may be hard to detect in a single QSO, averaged over
many QSO's I think it makes a difference. In the course of, say a
contest weekend, that small difference means that, on the average, you
will get through just a little more often and quickly, and you'll get a

Hi Ken,
How do you combine the 2 amps? I think that was KK9A's question also, so if
you answered on the reflector, it would probably be appreciated.
Thanks and 73,

Hi John,
I don't combine my KPA-500's. I use them in an SO2R setup.

I have a pair of KPA-500's for an SO2R setup. Seamless.
I've been running the numbers on the advantage of going to 1000 or 1500
watts.
500 watts to 1000 watts - 3.01 db gain
500 watts to 1500 watts - 4.77 db gain
Will the increase from 1000 to 1500 watts or a 1.76 db increase in
gain,
