May 11, 2023 · Owning an Elecraft KPA500 amplifier for years; { that doesn't care what antenna tuner is used } it seems the main advantage to this higher price Acom is it weighs less. With the KPA500 I can and have bought 120v and 240v power cords and fuses.

May 11, 2023 · Makes my FL-2100B look better and better every day. Not solid state, no 160 or WARC band coverage, but will do 500 all day long on 240V. Paid $400 CAD for it many years ago in mint condition. Mostly run it at 300 or 400 out to put less strain on the xcvr. Would love a new solid state amp, but just not in the budget.

Jun 2, 2022 · I'm probably doing homebrew if I go solid state. The mercury will fit my needs, but I'd like more headroom. As an AM operator dissipation is king. I'm looking at doing a pair of 1.8k devices and a dupkexer for output filtering. Wrapped with predistortion. Or the rf kit. The wallet hasn't been pulled out yet.

Dec 14, 2023 · My next amplifier will be a solid state unit ( I grow weary of the tuning process on tube amps), and this one is now on my list of possible "to-get's". Of course, I'd need to get a 240v line run into the shack beforehand, but I know a guy! Guess the final selection is going to depend on how well I score with the holiday scratch-off's this year!
