I'm wondering if the unit will offer all features remotely (far end of 100' coax) if I can enclose it in something weatherproof. Will it require additional power/control cable(s)? thanks, Oscar, WB5GCX On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 7:14 PM, Wayne Burdick n...@elecraft.com wrote: There's serious

[Elecraft] KPA500 operating current values...

2011-09-01 Thread ke9uw
Just checking... I get about 7.6 A at about 62 volts when on 75M putting out about 350 watts. I get about 0.4 A keyed with no rf input. Is that about right? Just wondering if these are normal values. A friend on 75M says he can detect something...on my voice sometimes...when doing about 350 watts

Correct on the Aux bus.However the Auxbus is accessed via the 15 pin Acc connector in the back, which the KPA500 and KRC2 all want access to. On 9/1/2011 1:09 PM, Jack Brindle wrote: Mike; The best way for your use is to use the Auxbus connection. I have tested it extensively while

Mike, I don't understand the problem with Jack's solution. The AUXBUS signal can be daisy-chained to the various units that need it. The 15 pin Y cable provided by Elecraft will provide the capability to daisy-chain the signals needed. For an example of similar connections, look at Figure

Hi Eric et. al., I wonder if it would be possible to have the INHIBIT# enable/disable be on a per-band basis for the KPA500. That way one could use DIGOUT1 to disable the amp on a band, say 17m or some band where the antenna SWR is too high, and to allow it to be enabled on 6m when DIGOUT1 is used

Mike, The simple solution is two of the Elecraft DB15 Y cables. However, microHAM only uses pins 1, 4, 5 (FSK, PTT ground) and provides a pigtail for the Inhibit input if you need it (not likely with the KPA-500). It would certainly be practical to make a custom Y cable to connect pins 2 5
