[Elecraft] XV144 - does it power spike

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

The XV144 does not do that on its own.
If you are driving it with a K2 or K3, I know you will be OK,
But if you are driving the XV144 with something else, be certain that it 
does not produce a poweer spike in the 28 MHz output.

73,
Don W3FPR
