I recently got the KPA 1500 amp and guess I have some observations an
possible upgrades that maybe considered.
1. I use my K3 and amp on all bands 160 thru 6 and have the internal 2
meter xfter using with a HB PQL LDMOS amp I built. It uses RCA phone for
its PTT and the KPA 1500 is using the enhanced cable. When I go from 6 to 2
meters the amp clicks and the freq indicates 5 MHz in the display. If the
amp was in oper mode on 6 it then keys on when I tx on 2 meters. Seems to
me it should recognize that it is on 2 and best case boot itself into
neutral.
2. I also would think a 1/2 speed of speed 1 would be a nicer starting
point. I can handle 1 & 2 speeds but not totally used to it as the last amp
was quieter than this one.
3. On ssb and had TX Test mode selected so as not to TX. When I hit
the paddle the amp goes TX mode and actually put out a little RF on the
LP100 meter. Should not key amp in my thinking.
Hopefully I have entered this all correctly and am not booted off. Thanks
for any answers and thoughts.
