[Elecraft] KPA500 new owner questions.......

[Jim Lageson]

I have never owned an amp before and recently put together a KPA500. All
seems to be working well, but I have a few questions. I am using with a
IC-7300.

How important is the ALC cable? I notice it is not included in the Basic
Cabling Diagram in the manual but is discussed later in the manual.

If I were accidently to run 100 watts into the KPA500 will the PWRIN HI
Hard Fault/STBY protect itself before any damage is done. Would ALC protect
me from that?

Is it standard procedure to keep the KPA500 in line when turned off and not
in use? I see you may run up to 200 through the KPA500 in STBY.

Is there any concerns or settings on radio when running full break in on CW?

Thanks
