[Elecraft] KX3 + KPA500

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I recently got the KX3 for a portable rig, and never put much though into using it with my KPA300

Thanks for your testing.

Further to my earlier note about driving the KPA500 with the KX3 on 6  
meters, I've done some more experimenting, and find that since the KX3 is  
incapable of overdriving  the amp, it's best to disable the KX3 ALC.  With this 
done, 8 watts CW from the KX3 produces 210 watts output from the  KPA500, 
which is loafing at this power level.
