Re: [Elecraft] Fw: KPXA100 amp for KX-3
For those who do not want to wait for the KXPA100, I will soon offer a 140w amplifier that drives with 5w (runs on 13.8vdc) with 5.5w x 11.5d x 4.5h package - weight unknown but probably 10-12lbs. This will have a 6-band LP filter with optional auto-band select for radios like the K3 or K2. I am still working on the custom LP filter pcb layout. The current version uses relay TR so is not QSK. I may try to make a diode switched TR that can support QSK in the future. This amplifier is offered as a bare kit by Communications Concepts, Inc. (AN762) and can be seen on my kits made by KL7UW webpage (link below). It is identical in layout to my 300w amp (28vdc) I am currently running with my K3/10 at 270w. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 == BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?

[Elecraft] Fw: KPXA100 amp for KX-3

Re: [Elecraft] Fw: KPXA100 amp for KX-3
Bob, Sorry, but none of that information is not yet available. As far as size, I can make a wild guess based on the volume of a typical 100 watt amplifier and 100 watt tuner and say that the total volume will be similar to that of a KPA100 plus a KAT100 - which fit inside an Elecraft EC2 enclosure. It will be but I doubt if the process is far enough along that the projections you are asking about can be available. I am certain Eric will correct me if I am wrong. BTW - a nit - there are no dashes in Elecraft model numbers except for a couple of the mini-modules. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/30/2012 6:26 PM, Linda and Bob wrote: See message below - Original Message - From: Linda and Bobdlrwi...@verizon.net To:elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 12:40 PM Subject: KPXA100 amp for KX-3 Does anyone know the approximate weight, size (HxWxD) of the KPXA100 for the KX-3?

Re: [Elecraft] Fw: KPXA100 amp for KX-3
Some time last year Eric or Wayne gave an approximate idea of size and weight they had in mind back then. I am presuming the K2 and K3 amps/tuners are a good volume/weight predictor just need to be re-laid out for the KX3. the two together was something like 4 x 5 x 9 and 6 pounds as an idea back then I thought. 73, tom n4zpt On 4/30/2012 6:47 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Bob, Sorry, but none of that information is not yet available.
