[Elecraft] K3 and AMP

[Fred Smith]

Well I have 2 different amps for my 2 K3's and both work very well. It
depends on how much power you want for a 500w amp I love the Elecraft KPA500
it integrates with the K3 like a glove. All you have to do is QSY on the
radio and the amp follows with it every time and it's the same size as the
K3 and it weighs 26#. I was able to purchase mine pre-owned only 6 mo old
for a very good price from a wanted to buy ad on QTH.COM. It has worked
flawless and looks like new not a blemish, so they can be found used. This
amp works as well as my Yaesu VL-1000 did with my FTDX-5000MP in this case a
500w radio the K3 but no tuner.

For my other K3 and a Legal Limit++ amp I use an Alpha 87A Auto Tune amp.
All you do with it is attach the coax and the key out line from the radio to
amp your done it loaf's at 1500w key down any mode for however long you need
it to.

Only amps I would avoid...MFJ's!!

I wish to purchase an Amp either new (or new to me ) to use with my K3/100.
Are there any that I should avoid and will I need interfacing circuitry
Thanks RC kc5wa
