Just read the KX3 (with upgraded firmware) does 15w output, so 31.6* x 15w = 474w from a KPA500; *15-dB. I have the KX3 but not the KPA500. 73, Ed - KL7UW From: "hawley, charles j jr" <[hidden email]> To: Tommy Judson <[hidden email]> Cc: Edward via Elecraft <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Availability I think I would get the KX3 which is in stock and maybe the KPA500 and KAT500. I?m not a 1500 watt guy. The KX3 can drive that to 250 watts or so...and get the K4 later. The KX3 would be a fun radio to keep.

In actual usage, I get about 250W - 300W out from my KPA500 when driven
with 15W from my KX3. I use it in my RV station, description linked to on my qrz.com page. 73, Mark W7MLG On Sat, May 16, 2020 at 1:40 PM Edward R Cole <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Just read the KX3 (with upgraded firmware) does 15w output, so 31.6* > x 15w = 474w from a KPA500; *15-dB. > > I have the KX3 but not the KPA500. > > 73, Ed - KL7UW > > From: "hawley, charles j jr" <[hidden email]> > To: Tommy Judson <[hidden email]> > Cc: Edward via Elecraft <[hidden email]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Availability > > I think I would get the KX3 which is in stock and maybe the KPA500 > and KAT500.
