[Elecraft] KX-3 and KPA-500?

2012-12-28 Thread Doug Person
Can the KX-3 drive the KPA-500 directly? I would think it might result in 200 to 250 watts out? tnx es 73, Doug -- K0DXV __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Doug- If you are referring to the KX3 driving the KPA500 (there are no dashes in these product models) then- yes, many people do this. I get just almost exactly 13 dB gain from the KPA500 when driven by the KX3. 73, Bruce, N1RX __

The KPA500 here produces 13-14 dB gain on most bands. 13 dB is a factor of 20, so 10 watts from the KX3 results in about 200 watts out to the antenna system. Gus Hansen KB0YH On 12/28/2012 9:33 AM, Doug Person wrote: Can the KX-3 drive the KPA-500 directly? I would think it might result in
