Re: [Elecraft] Wattage Draw - K3S/100 vs KPA500/KAT500 - for UPS

2017-08-30 Thread KQ5S-Tom
Something is not right. If your UPS is showing 350 with the K3S at idle and over 900 on transmit that is a difference of close to 600. The K3S draws 17-22 amps at full key down and 100 watts. Assume 20 amps at 13.8V. That is only 276. You are showing double that. - KQ5S-Tom
