[Elecraft] KPA1500 and K2

[Fred Jensen]

Beware of VGA cables and the K2, most [maybe all] are not 
straight-through. The connector on the K2 has 2 pins approximating 
RS-232 signal levels and 1 ground.  The remainder are internal signals 
at internal voltages.

Running solid state amps at seriously reduced drive levels can reduce 
their linearity and increase unwanted signal products.  Don't know about 
the KPA1500 but might be wise to check.
