[Elecraft] KX2 Matching Power Amplifier

Thu Apr 6 12:54:02 EDT 2017

Ron – Found it!  Very impressive amplifier for my KX2.  Guess I’ll build one while waiting for the Elecraft KXPA35 (or maybe the KXPA50…?).  The Hardrock 50 has a lot more features than I was looking for, but they are all useful.  Thanks for the help.  Again, very impressive!

Ron – I couldn’t find the amplifier on the QRP Guys website.  Do you have a link?  I bought their iambic paddle recently.

qrp guys also makes a nice 50 watt amplifier that works great with the KX2, has the cable for it, comes as kit for the fun of putting it together, quality product as well

Nice idea! Before Elecraft steps-in to this PA market, I am using with
great success and pleasure the Chinese MiNiPa50,:)
AT 5-6 W in from the Kx2 it yealds clean and healthy 45-50 W output on the
80-20m bands and around 40W on higher bands. 6,6A current consumption at
13-14V. No 6 m , no ATU though. ( For the ATU I use the famous Elecrat T-1,
yes, it can stand up to 40 W , just do not tune at this power level, :)) At
the price of approx 150 USD it is very good value for money, I think.
