We each have different expectations, I enjoy both SSB and CW, run QRP
most of the time after 60 years in the hobby
About 8 years ago I had the RM HLA-300 for use with the K2; soon resold
it, the K2 is yet here, since 1999
(a) The three fans on top of the HLA-300 were a noisy distraction
(b) Reports of distortion were received IF driven to more than a 100
watts output
(c) the newer HLA-305 might be better, but yet uses fans for cooling
Three years ago bought the KX3 and added the KXPA100/AT a year ago ~ it
helps on SSB; for CW I like the barefoot QRP
Also have the Hardrock-50/AT and it works well with my ELAD QRP transceiver
My wire dipole is fed with 10cm spaced open-wire and use the Johnson
Match-Box for the coupling of the RF energy
Cheers, Jan K1ND
