I had thought about that when I was about to order my K3 as a 10 watt version (to start). I turned my 746 down to 10 watts measured and my unmodified ALS500 put out 140 watts with 10 watts in (500 watts out with 100 in). That is what i intended to do until I could get the additional money for the PA.
Amplifiers are not such that 100 = 500 so 10 = 50. Solid state at least, look at the charts for the 2 meter amps for instance) Doesn't work that way. 73, de Jim KG0KP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ignacy" <n...@arrl.net> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 2:23 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and amplifiers such as ALS-600 > > One of frequent authors in QST runs ALS600 with K2/10.
