As a potential future buyer of the KPA500, I have a few questions, for those who actually own it:
What have you found to be the actual output power, on a dummy load using a good power meter other than the internal one. Is the maximum output the same on all modes (CW/AM/FM etc.)? Is the maximum output the same on all bands (what happens on 30 meters)? In the event of a high SWR, does the output begin to drop progressively, and/or does it just stop at some point? What is the typical SWR that will keep it happy at full output (without getting into a discussion of resonance and actual power out the antenna)? Finally, I read about the duty cycle of 10 minutes on and 5 minutes off, and I still wonder how it would keep it up with modes such as WSJT, where there is typically 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off? 73 de Sebastian, W4AS ______________________________________________________________ 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
