Additional KPA1500 amplifier information

I believe that 30m HP is allowed in most countries and 200 watts is legal in
the US so I would be surprised if it was blocked out.

I was chatting last night with a friend in Canada and we were discussing the
new KPA1500.  He asked if the amp will work on 30m without modification.
Wayne?

The KPA500 does work on 30M and even 5 MHz.

With the per-band setting in the radio, turning on the KPA500 and placing it in OPERATE, the K3 automatically reduces its power to 12W (or whatever) so the KPA500 runs at 200W (or whatever).  Switching the amplifier off or to standby and the K3 automatically goes back to 110W or whatever.

I've never used it on 5 MHz.

The KPA500 works fine on 30 and the auto-power-set feature with the K3
prevents accidentally running more than 200W on that band. I'm sure the
KPA1500 will work the same way.
