Sure. The KXPA100 will work with any radio that provides PTT and RF.

Thanks everyone, for the links, very much appreciated. I've never looked at Twitter before (and probably won't again), but very interesting. Maybe at some future date, for those using the K3 on the bench, an adapter might come along so the KX3 could be attached to the amp/atu? 73 Dave G3TJP __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 AMP and KXAT100 ATU pics and info
I used the OHR connector kits in both my K3s, turning a no-solder kit into a very little solder kit. I keep adapters around for those times I don't or can't change the UHF connectors to BNC or N, but I swap the UHF anytime I can. BNC and N connectors have two additional attributes (beyond being real 50 ohm connectors) that are beneficial: they are relatively weatherproof if properly assembled, and the ground makes contact before the center conductor.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 AMP and KXAT100 ATU pics and info
Oak Hills Research sells a similar BNC bulkhead connector that fits in a UHF hole. http://www.ohr.com/parts.htm BNC can handle roughly the same power as UHF. The max voltage on an Amphenol UHF connector is 600V. The max for BNC is 500V. A Type N connector can handle 1500V, so you can see how poor the UHF is for its size. wunder K6WRU On Apr 25, 2013, at 8:39 PM, Rick Dettinger wrote: > Morse Express sells SO-239 to BNC Conversion Kits.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 AMP and KXAT100 ATU pics and info
Just curious why the FCC has a 15 dB limit on power gain on all amplifiers. Is it related to the CB issue or is that sufficiently addressed in the 0dB gain for 26-28 mhz? I've been QRP for the last 20 years (except mobile), and anticipating a KXP100 for mobile use.
