HI Vic:
True... you probably could brew up an amp for less money. Looking at
the commercial market, there is an Ameritron amp for $800.. which
includes the power supply, too. It uses 3 type 811 tubes. Now...
it's rated at 600W PEP with 100W drive. So, with 10W drive, it's
output would

Why do you need that connection? As long as the amp has its own swr
protection /bypass switching mode, then the k3/kx3 only needs to look at the
amp input match using its own swr detection and determine its power output
into the amp input.
If the load goes bad the amp protects itself, stays in by

Whether you see it or not it will still be there and will have cost you
money to have it. I was only trying to keep the discussion on the cost
of the TenTec amp versus the KXPA3 from being apples versus oranges.

Hi all
Is this the TEN-TEC reflector?
Enough on this topic PLEASE, PLEASE.
Will someone create a new group just for this new amp?

I suspect the SWR/Power meter and LCD display for the KXPA3 will appear
on the K3 display.
It works that way with the K2 having the KPA100/KAT100 mounted remotely
in an EC2 enclosure - I expect nothing less from the KX3 and KAPA3.]
For use with transceivers other than the KX3, the KXPA3 may hav
You forgot the SWR/power meter and LCD display ...

$785 on the face of it looks high. The K3 internal 100w amp costs
$500 installed and $450 as a kit. But is it not a stand-alone unit
so missing chassis and connectors and other items. I believe the
KXPA-100 was targeted for about $800 (Wayne/Eric correct me if wrong).

If the transistors ran at >28V and it had a built-in PS it might be worth the
price.

Unlikely, I wouldn't be without the internal 100W in my K3.

If a 100w amplifier has to cost $800, then it is going to be difficult to
market. Just my
unsubstantiated gut feeling.
Personally, if I had a KX3 and wanted 100 watts when operating from my shack, I
would
throw something together from the junk box, probably with vacuum tubes. But
that's just
And you think the KXPA100 is going to sell for much less. Internal unit KPA3
is $500. Look at the pix of the KXPA100 and I can see $200-300 to enclose
it in that case.

I'm not sure about QSK operation. From the product brochure:
