[Elecraft] KPA500 General Questions

[Joe Word]

I am considering a KPA500 and have some questions for those that own one:

1. What Input SWR are you seeing? Does it vary by band?

2. Is there a lag in band switching when not using a K3 (Used with
non-Elecraft radio).

3. In normal SSB operation, how loud is the fan? I know this varies
per person, some don't hear fan noise and others do. What would you
compare it to? As an example, the Yaesu MARK-V Field is OK, but the
MARK-V 200 watt model is too loud for me.


Thanks and 73,
