Description / DISCONTINUED Elecraft KXPA100-K 100W Power Amplifier for KX3 modular kit

We can build this unit for you, load the latest firmware and test it. Just add this option.

The Elecraft KXPA100 amplifier is a 100W power amplifier suitable for use with most QRP radios. It has been designed with the KX3 in mind but any radio with 5W output can be used

KXPA100-K is the kit version without ATU and comes supplied as a modular kit (no soldering required).

Features

  • OutPut: 100 W on 160-6 m with 5 W input typical
  • power: 13.8 VDC; 20 A typical current drain (11 V with lower output. 15V max)
  • Weight: 7 lbs with optional KXAT100 installed.
  • Dimensions: 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 option (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 (requires KXPACBL)
  • 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
  • IMPORTANT: If you are using a KX3 with your KXPA100, you must load the latest KX3 firmware (MCU 1.76 or newer) before use.

Depending upon what radio you are using, decides what additional leads you need.

  • KX3 - You will need the KXPACBL
  • KX2 - You will need the the KXPACBL plus the KX2ACBL
  • FT-817 - You will need KXFT817CBL
