Reading the display on the KPA 1500 at various RF output levels shows an
efficiency as follows on 40M into a dummyload:
300W 23%
500W 27%
1000W 42%
1300W 48%
1500W 52%
1600W 54%
Have other owners seen results like this? Do you think a firmware and menu
item could be developed to increase the amps efficiency at lower power
levels by lowering the voltage to the PA?
