twin KPA500 amplifiers
Locked
 
|
The discussion about a 'KPA1500' made me think about putting two of the
KPA500 in parallel. Using a gizmo like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140399305330?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 or the equivalent circuitry, packaged and cabled accordingly, and maybe wire-AND-ing (or with diodes) the key lines of the two amps, them letting them auto-band-switch based on the initial signal, doing so would yield a ~1200W Elecraft amplifier. Is this an awful idea? (Ignore the cost for this exercise.) If so, why?

Ignoring cost...why not one of these?

You have your exchange rate backwards......at today's rate of 1.33,
22,800 Euros is about $30,300. 73, Mitch DJ0QN On 21.02.2012 04:25, Gary K9GS wrote: > Ignoring cost...why not one of these? > > http://www.cqdx.ru/ham/new-equipment/new-acom-3x2000a-qro-splittercombiner-amplifiers/ > > 22,800 EU is about $17,215 US > > > > On 2/20/2012 6:04 PM, Steve Jackson wrote: >> The discussion about a 'KPA1500' made me think about putting two of the >> KPA500 in parallel. >> >> Using a gizmo like this one: >> >> http://www.ebay.com/itm/140399305330?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 >> >> or the equivalent circuitry, packaged and cabled accordingly, and maybe >> wire-AND-ing (or with diodes) the key lines of the two amps, them letting >> them auto-band-switch based on the initial signal, doing so would yield a >> ~1200W Elecraft amplifier. >> >> Is this an awful idea?
