[Elecraft] Using SB 200 With KX-3

[Alan Bloom]

It should work fine.  I was able to get about 100W out of a Drake L-75. 
  Just tune the plate and load controls for maximum RF output. (There's 
not much point in trying to dip the plate current.  Since almost all the 
current is resting current, you don't see much of a dip.)
