[Elecraft] KX3 2m external amplifier

[Bill Frantz]

I have a 2M amp about 80 watts from Edward R Cole, KL6UW. I 
drive it with my 5W HT. It seems to work well, although I just 
got it working a month or so ago and have been away most of the 
time since. Note that Ed will set it up for the drive level you need.

Pluses: Solidly built. Automatic T/R switching, or by control wire.

Minuses: Little/no protective circuity. Class A so it draws a 
lot of power with no input.

I built mine as a kit and it was a fun build. Since I was an 
early adopter, I asked Ed a lot of questions and got very useful 
support throughout the process.
