I took an old Palomar solid state "broadband" amp and added a band pass filter to the output to clean things up. I then tried it with my KX3 and to my surprise the SWR was showing high at the KX3. The filter alone attached to a dummy load shows a near perfect 52 ohms so the problem isn't on that end of the chain. If I use an inexpensive littte 5 watt 40 m QRP CW rig to drive the amp everything seems perfect with nearly 100 watts out of the amp.Should I assume that my idea to recycle an old CB amp was just a bad idea and cut my losses by throwing it away? Or am I missing something?
