Maybe someone in the know could answer a question about the KX3 amp tuner that will be developed. Will this amp tuner work on the K2/10 also? Would be nice if it does. Thanks Gerald - KC6CNN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-amp-tuner-tp7556960.html

The amp most certainly will respond to the RF produced by the K2, but I am not certain if the TUNE button will do the same as is done in the K2/100. The K3 menu has provisions for Tune Power settings. In other words, the amp will work fine, but your question about the 500 watt tuner will not

That would be good, since the intermediate license in the UK limits ops to 50w too. A great way to buy a good rig for the future and remove the link when they get the full license. 73 de David, M0XDF (K3 #174, P3 #108) -- A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford to give it.

I don't understand. With the K3/KPA500 there is no knob on the KPA500 but if you want to change the power level you just turn the power knob on the K3. The K3 can remember that level the next time you return to that band if you wish. A power knob on the KPA500 would be redundant and

The issue is regarding setting a MAXIMUM output limit. for Legal or Safety reasons! In both cases - where accidental QRO could be consequential... Legally or health-wise. In my case, I limit max power for my children's sake! In JA and UK's cases - there was a 50w Legal upper limit.

Can we expect to see the 100w amp before Christmas. I assume it will have bandpass filters? Be about $500? I believe that will be the only 100w amp for qrp rigs with filtered output so it should be popular with other rigs as well. 73 Mike R Sent from my spy ring Amateur/Ham Radio KE5GBC HF
