Regardless of FCC requirements, it is not feasible or desirable to modify the KPA500 for lower power drive with a 10W exciter.
Any modification of the input network to the KPA500 will seriously degrade the input SWR to the amplifier and also will put the KPA500 transistors at a strong risk of destruction from accidental over drive. Our protection circuitry and firmware are tightly integrated to provide a very reliable bullet-proof design. 73, Eric WA6HHQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
