Hi everyone, Last night, I finished building and testing the KPA100. Today, I made several QRO contacts and got good reports on the audio from the KSB2 and the Heil desk mike.
K2 # 4970 also has the noise blanker, DSP filter and 160 meters installed. The DSP filter is incredible. Signals seem to just pop out of a nearly quiet background when it's on. I love this radio. It's better than my 756 pro II. The only odd things I encountered while testing the amp were: 1) on 160 M the current draw is about 27-28 amps at 100 W out, all other bands are 20 amps or less; 2) maximum attainable output on 30 meters is 68 watts; all other bands reach 100 watts + except 10 meters, which reaches about 90 watts. Other than this, the radio and all its options are working perfectly. What I am wondering about is whether or not the amp is working normally. Has anyone had the same experience Thanks and 73, John, W2GW _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
