Max power thru KPA 500 when off.

[Brian D. Comer]

I have reason to connect two KPA 500s in series. What is the max power that
can be input to a KPA 500 when it is turned off?

Brian,

According to the Elecraft KPA500 manual:

   1. *Never exceed 40 watts of drive to the KPA500 in OPER mode.*
   2. *You may run up to 200 watts through the KPA500 in STBY.*
