I have always been under the impression the doubling of output power
will result in a power gain of 3 db. And, that 3 db gain is the least
signal increase noticeable at the receiving point. KPA500 outputs 500
Watts - 1000 Watts would give an output gain of 3 db (over the KPA500)
and 1500 Watts a little over 4 db gain. That being my understanding -
why would I want to spend a box full of dollars for more power than my
KPA500 provides? Or, is my understanding flawed?
FWIW, I have run all kinds of amps in my nearly 60 years of being the on
the air and have found that Watts are Watts, regardless of how you
generate them (fancy, cheap, junk, or solid gold).
Everyone have a super HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
