[Elecraft] KPA500 General Questions

[Andrew Faber]

Joe,
  Re my unit (#77):
1) Don't notice SWR, seems quite low.
2) No, I've used it with a 756 Pro2, and it switches bands on the first dit. 
Very impressive.
3) It stays quite low; I don't even notice it in normal operation.
  It's a very impressive work of engineering!

Subject: [Elecraft] KPA500 General Questions

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,

Joe  N9VX
