[Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100

[Chad Wasinger]

Hi Jeff - I'd appreciate any advice, especially on the cabling. 
 
This amp has always looked like the obviously choice when it comes to a remote station.
 
Thanks!

Hi Chad.

I ran my KPA500/KAT500 pair with my 7100 for awhile without any problems. I was using system local, not remotely. I was in the middle of a move and after a month or so I moved my K3 in to position and hooked it up with the KPA/KAT. I built a cable for the purpose, that is defined in the elecraft manual. I'm at work now, but can research this some more when I get home if it will help. Let me know...

Hi Group,
 
Has anyone successfully used the KPA500 with the Icom 7100? I use the Icom 7100 remotely and would like to throw some power behind it. With the KPA500's remote management software and capabilities, it is obviously first on my list. 
 
Just wondering if anyone has any tips or comments to the configuration. Specifically from a remote shack perspective.
 
Thanks,
Chad
