KPA1500 questions
Locked
 
|
1) Can the KPA1500 be placed on top of the power supply for those of us without floor space?
2) What is the drive power required for full output? 3) Can a KXPA100 be used to drive it thereby (gulp) giving us a 1500W KX2 or KX3 (or K2 with key line mod)? 4) Will it cope with digital modes at full power for sustained operation (like the KPA500)? My apologies if these questions have been answered, I have carefully gone over the available information. 73 and Holy Moly Eric WD6DBM Sent on my Samsung Galaxy S® 6. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

KX2 or KX3 (or K2 with key line mod)? Yes Oh, sure. Go ahead and remove all the barriers to my buying a KPA1500. Except for the XYL, of course.

Oops - Typing too fast!
The KPA1500 can be keyed and driven by the KX2 and KX3, but not to full power, as per current FCC rules.

I'm was up too early and typing too fast again!
Yes, the KX2 or KX3, when transmitting through the KXPA100 amp, can drive the KPA1500 to full output. :-) 73, Eric elecraft.com _..._ On Apr 24, 2017, at 8:11 AM, rich hurd WC3T <[hidden email]> wrote: >> 3) Can a KXPA100 be used to drive it thereby (gulp) giving us a 1500W > KX2 or KX3 (or K2 with key line mod)? > Yes > > Oh, sure.
