Alan, Yes, set the KXPA100 tuner to bypass - switch on the front. You will be using cabling as shown in Figure 4 page 11 of the KAT500 Owner's manual. The "output on transceiver that provides closure to ground on transmit" is the RCA jack on the rectangular box in the cable between the KX3

A little help / guidance please. I have a Kx3 w/ Kxpa100 and soon I will be adding a Kpa500 / Kat500 to this mix. When you add a Kxpa100 to a Kx3 you set the power on the Kx3 from 0-110w. If you click tune on the Kx3 it tunes the tuner in the kpa100. Full integration How does all this work

Looking for a little QRO in my alternate station... I would like to be able to run my KX3 into my KXPA100 amplifier, and that into my KPA500 amp. How do I do that? Thanks __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 with KPA500

The book says "30 to 40 watts for 500 watts output". So if one has 1/2 of that for drive power {15 watts to 20 watts} then they can expect 1/2 of the rated output power {250 watts}. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 2/7/2016 10:03 AM, w4grj wrote: Can anyone advise power out of KPA500 using the KX3 as

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 with KPA500

Jack, I’ve got my KX3 and K3 cabled so that either can drive my KPA500 and KAT500 via a switch, per the diagram in Fred Cady’s book. When I use the KX3 to drive the amp, I can usually get 240 watts out, max. However, I don’t necessarily like to run the KX3 at full throttle (or my car!) so I

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 with KPA500

I run my K3-S with 10w of drive power and usually get 200W out of the KPA500…. I have not hooked my KX3 up … but assuming you have 14V - I see no reason why this would not behave the same. Regards Tim A45WG > On 8 Feb 2016, at 00:47, James Bennett wrote:

Hi - I was wondering if there were any plans for what I'll call a KX3 interface/adapter to the KPA500 so that it could run at full rated output power? I know one can attach a number of automatic amps that get you up to 30w, but not with the sort of complete integration as the K3 and KPA500. Also,

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and KPA500 ... full power out?

KPA500 is about 13dB so if you can get about 12 watts out of your KX3 you'll get about 250 out of your KPA500. ~Brett (N7MG) On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 7:33 PM, Terry Domae terry.do...@gmail.com wrote: Hi - I was wondering if there were any plans for what I'll call a KX3 interface/adapter to
