Amplifiers

[Brian Heinitz]

With all of the anticipation about the KPA 1500, a timely and informative discussion of that product and amplifiers in general can be heard on episode 38 of the Workbench podcast at Ham Radio 360.

David Shoaf KG6IRW from Elecraft is interviewed by Workbench podcast hosts (and Elecraft product owners) George KJ6VU and Jeremy KF7IJZ. This edition of the podcast does a great job of explaining the design philosophy of the KPA 1500 (and KPA 500) and discusses considerations any ham should think about when planning on adding an amplifier to their shack.

If you are not familiar, the Workbench podcast is one of three podcasts produced under the Ham Radio 360 umbrella. The Workbench is specifically focused on the hands-on DIY or “maker” side of our hobby and as such offers a deeper dive into some of the more technical aspects of the hobby. The other two podcasts focus on portable or field operations (great for KX3/KX2 users) and on the hobby in general. Elecraft is a sponsor of the podcast, and I highly recommend them to you.

Maybe I dozed off during that nearly three hour fireside chat but I came away
disappointed.  I wanted some meat about things like IMD, an issue Elecraft has
plenty of, device selection, biasing, power control, matching and so forth.
