Blasphemy! IC705 w/ KPA100

[Keith Gordon]

Simmer down.  I own Elecraft gear and am getting more.

For an ARES Go Box idea I'm enamoured with the idea of an IC705 mated to an
Elecraft 100W amp with tuner.

Gives me single cord connection digital on HF, VHF & UHF and good old CW
and SSB as well.

What do we know about mating the KPA100 to the IC705?

73s, Keith S Gordon

Depends on what ICOM lets the IC705 do with other equipment.
I saw the 1st IC705 and was less than impressed.. AND then they took it
back in and rebuilt it because it was not going to fly.
I still prize my KX3 for it versatility

First off, the amp and tuner aren’t going to help you on 2 Meters or 70 CM.

And you're going to need a full 12 Volts at 20 Amps to power the combo. You might as well use a 7300 and a dual band mobile.
