KX3: PA options for KX3 mobile

Jack Berry
Is anyone using the KX3 mobile with a small amp? I'm interested to know what amps are suitable for a 10 watt input / 100 watts out.
I know Elecraft is planning to offer a KPA100 amp in the future but would like to make the switch on mobile operation now.

Thanks!

God Bless & 73!

I used mine several times with an ameritron al80B (not a small amp by any means but an amp nonetheless). 10 watts in got about 120w out in cw. Keying line thru acc2 worked flawlessly. Had to take the kx3 out of qsk, however.

I have been using the KX3 with a Tokyo HyPower HL50B with 5 watts drive and about 50-65w output without any issues.
