Since the typical driving transceiver can tolerate an SWR of at least 2:1 without power foldback or damage, setting that 1.3:1 limit is reasonable -
That certainly is not the case with the KPA1500. An SWR of 1.4:1 can cause it to fault well below 1500 W due to either excess current or excessive drive power, or to greatly exceed 1500 W output.
I don't think the K3 will deliver anywhere near 100 W at 2:1, either. 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott K9MA k...@sdellington.us ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
