[Elecraft] A suitable linear

Tue Aug 19 12:50:01 2003

Well, one way to do it to have both the amp and power supply off the bench,
is to go with an Acom 2000A. Mine is in the basement where my coax comes in
the house. All I have next to my TS950SDX/ K2 is an Acom remote control
head. Small, quiet and no heat from the amp in the shack.
Still waiting for the "all automatic everything" solid state amp that puts
out 1500w continuous without using dozen of final transistors. For now I am
very ahppy withte 2000A.

Subject: [Elecraft] A suitable linear

Fellows,

Let me open a new subject.

I've been thinking about getting a linear for the K2/100.

In keeping with my goal of getting rid of boatanchors around here, the new
amplifier should be modern and light weight.

I use a switching power supply with the K2/100 and it seems to me logical
that the new linear amplifier should also have a switching power supply,
the single heaviest part of an amp.  I don't know of any on the
market.  While we're on the subject it would be nice to have the power
supply external to the amp so it could sit on the floor or a shelf (if it
had meters as my Astron SS-25 does) so that power could be monitored and
the amp itself should be small sitting on the table & hopefully not too
much bigger than the K2/100

Actually, Alpha builds a no tune amp that could sit on the shelf, but it is
VERY expensive.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
