Keying KPA500 with K2

[Len Chesler-2]

I have a QRP K2 that I would like to keep at that power level.  I also have a KPA500 that I use with my K3.  I would, however, like to use the KPA500 with the K2 w.ithout having to upgrade the K2 to 100W.  Is this something that anyone has experimented with?  Tnx. Len

The KPA500 will give you 12-13dB gain.  So your 15-watt K2 will give youi 200-300 watts out of the KPA500.  I use my KPA500 at 190-200 watts output on 30 meters when I need a little extra "oomph".  I drive it with about 10 watts with my K3.
