[Elecraft] Out Board PA

[Jim Miller]

I had a K2 for a while, long story.  It was the 10 watt version and I had
planned to connect it to my Ameritron ALS-500 which I run on my base
station.  It needs only the "PTT" signal from the radio (available on most
radios) to go to transmit mode.  I'm sure I could have found one on the K2.
It is a 500 watt amp with 100 watts in BUT testing with 10 Watts in gives
160 watts out.  It would have worked fine but do not have the K2 any longer.
You could likely use almost any amp (use the necessary isolation relay so as
not to damage the radio).  K3 on order.

73, Jim
