[Elecraft] Additional KPA1500 amplifier information

[Jim N7US]

The KPA500 does work on 30M and even 5 MHz.

With the per-band setting in the radio, turning on the KPA500 and placing it in OPERATE, the K3 automatically reduces its power to 12W (or whatever) so the KPA500 runs at 200W (or whatever).  Switching the amplifier off or to standby and the K3 automatically goes back to 110W or whatever.

I've never used it on 5 MHz.

I was chatting last night with a friend in Canada and we were discussing the new KPA1500.  He asked if the amp will work on 30m without modification.  Wayne?
