[Elecraft] kpa800 question

[N2TK, Tony]

It has band pass filters in the output - similar concept to the K2/100. I
believe Eric said it is Pi-L. There is no antenna tuner in the amp.

What I found is that the amp needs to have around 50
watts to be driven to full output.  There is a rule
with the FCC that requires higher drive for full
output so other types (CB types) can't put in 5-watts
and get out 800 watts.  So, the by rule the amp is
limited in drive...I think it is 13 db, but I am not
sure.

The amp is a stand alone and can be used with any rig.

It is 80% the size of an Alpha

It has a built in antenna tunner.  PIN Diode switching
and a switching power supply.

Fully metered too.
