KPA1500 Enhancement

[Thomas Donohue]

Hi to all:

I'm changing the topic back to my original question, which has not been answered. Are there plans or thoughts to add a second RF input to the amp similar to the two RF inputs on the Yaesu VL1000? I'm not interested in SO2R, I am interested in feeding my K3 and K3S into a KPA1500, much the same as I'm currently doing with the VL1000.

Best 73,
Tom/W1QU

Hi Tom,

I don’t believe we have enough rear panel or internal space in the KPA1500 to accommodate a two-rig switch. That said, if you (or anyone else) wants to use a home-rolled or commercial rig/antenna switch, or an SO2R box, we’ll try to find a way to help with integration.

For example, the KPA1500’s front-panel “ANTENNA” switch has a tap function but not a hold function. We could create a hold function that would select between two rigs via an external relay. There are various possibilities for control that I’ll be happy to discuss with you if you’re interested.

73,
Wayne
