[Elecraft] KX3 with KPA500

[James Bennett]

Jack,

I’ve got my KX3 and K3 cabled so that either can drive my KPA500 and KAT500 via a switch, per the diagram in Fred Cady’s book. When I use the KX3 to drive the amp, I can usually get 240 watts out, max. However, I don’t necessarily like to run the KX3 at full throttle (or my car!) so I back down the RF out on the KX3 and let the amp cruise along at about 210 watts out.
