[Elecraft] KPA1500 with P3 Transmit Monitor

[RIchard Williams]

James,
Am not sure why you need a tuner between the radio and the amp in the first place??  As of now, I have my K3S or K3 driving a Alpha 9500.  I never have used the tuner in either when driving the amp?  I assume the KPA9500 will have a 52 ohm input, and you would not need a tuner.

Looking at a draft of the KPA1500 amplifier, it appears
that the only place to install  a TxMon or Wattmeter coupler
is at the  -  output  -  of the built-in tuner.

At that point, it will always show the SWR of the
coax feedline, not the SWR that the amplifier "sees" as
adjusted by the built-in tuner.

Or, is there a coupler built-in inside the KPA1500 ?

What am I missing?
