was my first outing with the miniHFPA (http://www.hfprojects.com). With 5 watts
from my KX3 I got 50 watts out on 40 meters. On 80 meters I'm getting 64 watts
output. In less than favorable conditions I made a 9000 mile QSO. I used an
Elecraft T1 Autotuner with no problems.

Virgil,
I'm using my KX3 with the miniHFPA in New Braunfels while visiting my inlaws.
My antenna is a 53' wire in an inverted L configuration and I'm using
batteries. I just made a QSO with ZS6CCY in South Africa in less than ideal
conditions. Lots of noise. The miniHFPA made the difference. Earlier today I
made a QSO with 5J0NA on San Andres and Providencia. I am quite pleased with
this lightweight wonder!

I've been using my old HF-PACKER amp I've had about 7 yrs with the KX2.
2 watts in gives me 40watts out for portable ops here in Florida.
I use a Buddipole 5Ah battery for the amp and the internal battery in the KX2.
I was on the air every day for almost a week at Flamingo in the Everglades last
month chasing SOTA activators, never ran either battery down.
Virgil has a new mini HF-packer amp for SOTA activators out now, 35/40 watts
out on battery.
I would buy an Elecraft small amp if they ever produced one !
