Now accepting orders for the Elecraft KXPA100 100 W Amplifier
We have received FCC certification and are putting on the finishing touches and performing our field test on the KXPA100. We're now taking orders for deliveries planned to start in the next 60 days (mid to late August).
You will find a direct link for ordering the KXPA100 below, at the bottom of this email. (This order form is not yet visible on our regular web page.)
KXPA100 features include:
100 W output on 160-6 m with 5 W input typical
13.8 VDC powered; 20 A typical current drain
7 lbs with KXAT100 installed. 10 x 5.125 x 4.25"
Compact unit ideal for both desktop and mobile use
Solid-state diode T/R switching — fast, silent T/R and QSK
Large convection-cooled heat sink for reliable and quiet operation
Modern design with rugged MOSFET output stage
Internal wide-range automatic antenna tuner (KXAT100 ATU option)
Second antenna jack provided with KXAT100 ATU option; controlled by KX3's ANT switch
Fast, bright LED bar graphs for power and status; KXAT100 ATU option adds SWR bar graph
Seamless integration with the Elecraft KX3 transceiver
Works well with any low-power transceiver, requiring only RF and PA KEY inputs
RF-based frequency counter automatically switches bands with any rig
Optional band-data input support the K3/10, KX3, Yaesu FT-817, Icom IC-703, and other rigs
Dual APP power connectors for additional friction-fit if needed (mobile); optional daisy-chaining of 13.8 V to power rig
Optional KXPACBL adapter connects KX3 to the KXPA100 with a single cable for keying, band data, and control
KXPA100's PC port allows use of remote-control and logging applications with the KX3 without software configuration changes
KXAT100 internal ATU option matches 10:1 SWR (5:1 typical on 160 m and 6 m); uses Elecraft's fast matching algorithm
KXAT100 ATU settings saved per band, per band segment, and per antenna for instant recall
We look forward to receiving your KXPA100 order and we hope it will accompany you on many adventures to come!

We're now shipping the KXPA100/KXAT100s. As usual for a new product, we're proceeding with caution so that any issues that come up with firmware or documentation can be dealt with ahead of the bulk of shipments. We made a few firmware and doc tweaks last week and make a couple this week as well.

Pourquoi alimenter 4 post sur le KXPA100?
Facile de retrouver l'information par la suite!
cette mise à niveau beta vaut vraiment la peine.
Ça montre encore une fois le dynamisme d'Elecraft et son "écoute" de sa clientèle. Et en plus, le fait que ces mises-à-jour puissent se faire par simples téléchargements (l'avantage des SDR) est un excellent système. L'évolution du KX3 (87 m-à-j pour tenir compte des demandes de modifications) a aussi été très intéressante. L'équipe semble maintenant se concentrer sur le nouveau KXPA100 et sur le module 2 mètres à venir.
Elecraft prend d'abord note des suggestions de nouvelles options et ou de "bugs" cachés, puis modifie les codes (algorithmes), en propose l'essai à un groupe restreint de volontaires (pré-bêta.. je sais que Jean-Francois VA2SS a participé à l'essai le plus récent), pour ensuite afficher un vrai bêta, et si c'est concluant, une version officielle est mise en ligne.

Tiens, de quoi flatter l'orgueuil des proprios de KX3...FT5ZM DXpedition
