There was a post some months ago to gauge interest in a 0dBm output module, but
if that eventuates, it will not be until after the ~3W output transverter is
released.

Oh Really? Thats fantastic! I could have sworn I asked at Dayton and was
told it was XVTR level output. Perhaps Wayne or Eric can tell us for sure.
It would help planning!

Chris,
Where did you get the idea that the KX3 2M module output 1mw? Wayne
has repeatedly stated they expect something between 3 to 5w
output. I know nothing about the Flex6700 (does it run with 1mw
output?). Most of the RF modules used in radios require something
like 20mw (+13 dBm) drive
Since we have some time to wait, I was wondering if I could get some advice on
any available amps that could be used to boost the 1mW projected output of the
KX3's upcoming 2M module to higher power levels. I could use this on my Flex
6700 2M radio as well. Either something to drive a large
Are you referring to the THP HL-45B? It is listed as $449.95 with HRO and I
guess
that some would say that is not expensive at all. After all, price is
relative. Paying
$450 for 45 watts may sound better than if one paid $450 for a bottle of table
red.

It's definitely still available. I bought one last week. I got mine from an
estate dealer (never used in the original sealed box) but HRO sells it as
well.

We're already testing the 2nd prototype of the 2-m module. I'll post
an update when we have hard data.

Hey, who needs the Elecraft amplifier? I have been using my Drake L-75
with the KX3. Puts out well over 100W. Of course, the 3-500Z f

Much higher priority indeed.. I just ordered a KX3 today, and the 2m module is
high on my list…
I don't care about having 100W… It'

If one is looking for the occasional higher power output, I have been

I would have to agree with this one. Plus I think it just makes more sense
to essentially complete the bulk of the "internal" options before offering
external options.

I have not read where the 2M module is 2 years away though?...seems kinda
long eh?
I must have missed something...again

I dis-agree. I am looking for a portable rig with 100w. First.
I hope that eric/wayne stays the course
