[Elecraft] Selectivity

I noticed that during the contest, that if I selected 50 or 100 Hz selectivity, the audio would drop way down. It didn't used to be this way. I tried reloading an earlier version of the software but couldn't figure out how to do it. Hope this comes through, finally! 73, Roger

Re: [Elecraft] OK, odd question

[Elecraft] KPA1500

The amp arrived in fine shape and am getting familiar with all the features. I have some questions: Is there an input attenuator normally in-line? I can't figure out how to manually change the L and C values for the tuner. If these are changed, are the settings memorized? 73, Roger N1RJ

Re: [Elecraft] Which Amp ?

I have the report. 3rd order IMD ranges from approx 31 to 35db at 1000 watts output. Not terrible but not spectacular either. I really wish they had tested it at rated power (1300 watts). I might be very different at that point! 73, Roger On 7/24/2018 4:03 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: On the
