Hi all, I am wringing out my KPA100 and have come up with the following numbers. I did do the 2 capacitor mod while building the KPA100. I used the dummy load in my MFJ-949E, which I measure at 56 Ohms. I connected the K2 to a Mirage MP1 Wattmeter to the KPA100 in the EC2 case, to the KAT100, to the MFJ-949E. I figured the KAT100 would offset the 50 Ohm deviation in the dummy load. For the SSB measurements I used a Kenwood MC43 mic. The number in "" is the requested power from the K2. For SSB, for this very scientific test ;o) I said "Ahhhhh" into the mic.
SSB 80M 3773 100W "80" 40M 7251 100W "99" 30M 10114 90W "110" 20M 14290 70W "110" 17M 18136 100W "90" 15M 21350 110W "100" 12M 24950 100W "110" 10M 28400 100W "110" CW 80M 3600 105W "60" 40M 7050 110W "70" 30M 10115 98W "110" 20M 14050 100W "70" 17M 18080 100W "70" 15M 21100 100W "60" 12M 24900 100W "60" 10M 28050 110W "70" Scott at Elecraft sent me 2 new low inductance resistors just in case, but I already replaced the 2 caps with higher values (5600 pf), and didn't save the old caps. But then again that was for a fix for 20M and 17M. I repeated the SSB 30M and 20M test without the KAT100 in line and got the same results. So it looks like 30M and 20 M output is a little low on SSB, but is fine on CW. Any comments? Thanks, Steve, W2MY -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
