loss through KXPA100 if running with PA Off on KX3

I have the KX3 and KXPA100. If I turn off the PA from the menu on the KX3,
is there an significant power loss, say I am running at 15 watts, going
through the amp antenna connection instead of connecting the antenna
directly to the KX3?

Thanks,

Terry, N7TB

Terry,

There should be no loss when the KXPA100 is turned off.
OK, maybe a wee bit, but certainly not significant.

Terry,
Could you be using Ant2?
I believe the KXPA100 bypasses to Ant 1.

I agree with Don. I use the KXPA100 with both the KX3 and KX2. Not a
noticeable difference.
