[Elecraft] KX3 with KPA500

[a45wg]

I run my K3-S with 10w of drive power and usually get 200W out of the KPA500…. I have not hooked my KX3 up … but assuming you have 14V - I see no reason why this would not behave the same.

Regards

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.
