[Elecraft] KXPA100 70 to 80w out Max with KX3 drive at 15W???

[Kyle Krieg]

In more troubleshooting, I'm finding that when I switch my KX3 to PA mode
ON, the KX3 is only putting out around 2 to 3 watts output to the KXPA100.

But then when I swtich the PA mode to off and change the power button to 5
to 15W output, the correct amount of RF is output from the KX3.

Is there a setting to boost the power when PA mode is on?

Thanks
Kyle



That sounds right, so the PS is working OK.

According to the manual you need only 3.5 - 7 W drive for 100W output.

Have you checked that 3dB attenuator, Pin, RF Drive, is in the OUT/AUTO
position?
