Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 metering
A 1.5 KW external wattmeter is much less expensive than a major KPA500 repair - I would not risk it. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/3/2024 6:15 PM, Mike Murray wrote: If a KPA500 is in standby, can it be used to determine power output from another amp by feeding the signal thru the KPA?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 metering
Check the KPA500 manual. From memory, the max throughput in standby is 200W. As I say, check my memory against the manual. *Ken* *WA2LBI* On Wed, Apr 3, 2024 at 6:36 PM Mike Murray wrote: > If a KPA500 is in standby, can it be used to determine power output from > another amp by feeding the signal thru the KPA?

[Elecraft] KPA500 metering
If a KPA500 is in standby, can it be used to determine power output from another amp by feeding the signal thru the KPA? I don't currently have an external power meter I can utilize to check output of an SB200, but I also don't want to risk damaging the KPA. 73, Mike - W0AG __ 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
