[Elecraft] KX3 Amp

[Fred Smith]

Use a small computer fan to cool it works fine for me but I don't rag chew
just DX. At 5w I still can get about 150w but the amp doesn't care for it.
I have never tried it with my KPA500 to see what it would do.

Not sure 11W drive is good for normal rag chewing with the KX3. It does get
rather hot to touch.

I would hope that the KXPA100 would only require 5W for 100W output or close
to that.

My KX3 will output 354w with 11w of drive power. I guess I really don't need
one other than what I have.

Well it may be a waste of money for you but it is worth about 10 db to
everyone else...  ;<)  73, Greg-N4CC

I have been using my KX3 for a few months now, and never needed an amp.
Nine out of ten times, if I hear someone, they can hear me (CW).
Actually, even with my K1 at 6W, I never felt the need.
For SSB, I can see how it would help, but for CW, it's a waste of money.
