[Elecraft] KA100: does it impact audio?

Wed Feb 27 18:04:00 2002

5 Watts to the speaker in the current rig?  I doubt it.  Likely no more 
that one Watt, if that (but it might be in the specs).

Adding an RF PA for TX should have no effect on the RX audio power .. at 
least no *intended* effect :-)
