[Elecraft] KPA1500 on AM

[Morgan Bailey]

The max that you can legally run is 375 watts carrier. That on AM will get
you 1500 watts PEP. YMMV. I do not know the spex on the 1500 but that may
put you in the ballpark. Understanding linearity, for AM is covered here:

If you want to run AM, this is where I would start reading.

BS + MS + $2.98 = COFFEE
Real Life Experience = Priceless, says the man who set his back yard on
fire with a bread board tuner loading a 160 meter inverted L with 1000
watts. LOL
