The sample output on the amp is already enabled. You just need a radio that supports adaptive predistortion. Dave wo2x Sent from my iPad > On Feb 19, 2023, at 1:19 AM, Tim Tucker wrote: > > Is there an ETA on when the TX Sample output on the KPA1500 will be enabled > for Pure Signal? > > Th

Is there an ETA on when the TX Sample output on the KPA1500 will be enabled for Pure Signal? Thx, AE6LX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:El

Dave, Since that "coupler" has only one output, it is not a full forward and reverse coupler, so it could be nothing more than a toroid output with the wire carrying the full output going through the center of the core - in other words, it can just be an "RF Sampler", and in that case it woul

David, It is just a coupler - nothing else makes sense for that use, so your -60dB assumption is correct. Yes, it is relative to the output, so dBm is not the proper designation. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/23/2018 10:09 AM, David Box wrote: I am trying to get ready for delivery of the KPA1500 and h

I am trying to get ready for delivery of the KPA1500 and have become confused about the information available for the TX Sample port. The only information I can find states that this is a low-level signal of -60dBm but dBm is a measure of absolute power which would put this signal at 1 nanowat
