K2/100 Specifications
All measurements were made using a 13.8 V, 20-amp power supply and
50-ohm load. Numeric values are typical; your results will be somewhat
different. Specifications are subject to change without notice. (Note:
specifications in section 2 of the K2 owner's manual apply to the KPA100
except where superceded here.)
Weight 5 pounds

These figures reflect the total current drain in receive mode. The current drain
indicated on the K2's LCD in voltage/current monitor mode will be lower because
some circuits on the KPA100 are powered from the KPA100's DC input jack. For
details, see the Operation section of the this manual.
5
Current varies with band, supply voltage, configuration, and load impedance.
External 20-A in-line fuse required if power supply does not include a fuse or
circuit breaker.
6
Frequency counter cable removed. Adding the cable with the PA installed
slightly increases spurious content on some bands. Keep the cable to the shortest
possible length if it is installed (about 6").
7
The fan control circuit should not be used to directly drive a supplemental
Key-down time At full power (100 W),
10 sec max. recommended
Keying Full break-in, diode switched
