Hi, After using my K2/100 for nearly a year I finally got it hooked up to my Ameritron AL-811 amplifier. Previously, I had used the amp only with my IC-746Pro. I build a switch box to switch the amp keying. It also switches out the amplifier ALC (not that the K2/100 uses it) and it switches the MFJ-216 Amplifier Saver as well. BTW, I had to move the K2/100 about 15 inches from the amplifier to get rid of audio distortion. That has been discussed before here so it is nothing new.
The K2/100 and the amp worked together just fine. With the K2/100 power out at about 55 watts the amp output was about 500 watts. I'm sure with 65 watts the amp would have easily put out it's full 600 watts. The extra power sure caused a stir in the ether. Toward the end of an hour I actually had a pileup going. Imagine having a pileup in Colorado. Just more incentive for the Elecraft amplifiers. The K2/100 just keeps amazing me as to it's capabilities. (I'm still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of the DSP....most of the time I don't think I really need it. But, hey buy it anyway....Wayne and Eric can always use the business.) Have a great day everyone. Jim, AB0UK K2/100 S/N 4787 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
