[Elecraft] KPA-1500 on 160

2023-11-17 Thread Pete Smith N4ZR
I have just tried my K-3/KPA-1500 combo on 160.  I find that I can only increase the drive to 26 watts, to deliver about 880 watts input before the OVR light comes on.  Is this to be expected?  Don't see anything in the manual about it. -- 73, Pete N4ZR

The fault table should show what threshold is being exceeded. Recent 160 meter soft fault detail would be of interest. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Nov 17, 2023, at 19:51, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: > > I have just tried my K-3/KPA-1500 combo on 160. I find that I can only > increase the drive to 26

Pete, I ran 1.5kw on 160 with an EFHW and did not have any issues. I ran feedline underground and had great results. I would suspect some rf feedback. Which can cause anomalies. Bill K9YEQ From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net on behalf of Dick Dievendorff
