I have both. I've had the KPA500 much longer of course and it's nice.
Small, concise and quiet, perfect for closest stations (tight spaces).

I built three of them (144, 222, 432) and have used them with my K3 in my
contest rover for several years. They are solid performers, and they work
seamlessly with the K3.
Since they can be used with many kinds of radios in many configurations,
there are a number of jumpers and connections you
Joe,
Instead of daisy-chaining all the transverters, try connecting only one
at a time (you should be able to use the daisy-chain control cable, but
connect the TX and RX coax directly fron the K2/K3/K3S to the transverter.
Then tell us what the particular problems are with each transveter.
Thought I would throw this out there..
I have a K3/0 mini, K3S and a RemoteRig setup.. To the best of my
knowledge it was all working. I had pulled the plug a while back. Lots
of things going on and decided to offer the station to a friend. I can't
see to make it work. Anyone have great radio
Actually, I have, Rick. The KPA1500 is the second greatest amplifier in
the history of the solar system. It's a BattleBot, a monster, the
doomsday legal-limit amplifier. But the KPA500 is tiny, and so quiet that

I have two I need some help with neither one works or ever did. I believe I did
every thing correct and believed something happened in trying to set them up to
do the alignment procedures. But the power indicator came on till I hooked them
up to do the alignment. I really cant see paying
Then you haven't used a KPA1500.

I can confirm that KPA500 V1.00 firmware, which was the first released, had a
max temperature of 90 degrees C. This has not been changed in any subsequent
code.
As for the input power, the amplifier has improved over time. My original
prototype KPA500 requires power in the range described
Hi Eric, My manual (revision B, 2011) that came with my SN 0149 says 90C
maximum, page14 in the specifications. It also says drive power 30-40 watts
for 500 out and I have never beed even close to that, usually 22-26 watts
drive.

If you have had a Win10 update lately, and the “NEW” Edge browser installed,,
well,,!!!,,.
I had an issue about 3 weeks ago after a Win10 dll became “missing” or
corrupted. Reloaded C++ x86 redistrib package from MS fixed it. This may NOT
be your issue. However I have noticed
I'm using a SDR-IQ and SpectraVue as a panadapter with my K3. I had some
stability issues with my shack PC running Win 10 a few days ago that appear to
have been mostly resolved with the exception of SpectraVue now crashes after
running for a few minutes. I've uninstalled and installed the
I would like to let everyone know that I contacted Nifty Manuals about the K2
Manual. It is DISCONTINUED and is not produced any longer. It is not
available to purchase new from them.

I Am asking for the proper schematics because I can’t locate a certain 270 Ohm
resistor on my physical PA board.
This resistor appears on a “REV Ä” schematics
You are correct in your assertions,,, However you can/could/may have pwb
changes to improve finished module performance, or cost, resulting in a new pwb
with a lower rev level as its’ procurement part number would certainly change,
and also resulting in a module assembly revision level change
"I have a PA board with "REV B" "silked" on it, but the schema I was supplied
with is for "REV A". I know there are differences."
I received KPA500 schematics from Elecraft about 2 years ago. This set
includes sheets that are at rev C and rev D but the sheet "KPA 500 PA Module"
is rev A.
The “Rev” that is silkscreened on the board reflects the revision level of the
bare board, NOT the assembly revision level of the module which will reflect
changes made to the module and could any component, hardware, or circuit
changes. The module revision level should be reflected on an

Is this true for my first-year production KPA500? I seem to remember
somethink like 75C. I cant find my old manual.
