[Elecraft] KPA500 Bypass Power Limit?

[Andy Durbin]

"How much power can I run through a KPA500 that is in BYPASS"

KPA500 has no "BYPASS" mode.  It is either Off, On in STBY, or On in OPER.

The  KPA500 Owner's Manual says - "Transmitting - The POWER (W) and standing wave ratio (SWR) bargraphs are functional when the amplifier is in standby (STBY). Twenty-five watts from the driving transceiver will illuminate the first POWER LED. You may run up to 200 watts through the KPA500 in STBY."

The answer to your question would appear to be "200 W".
