Introduction
On behalf of our design team, we'd like to thank you for choosing the KXPA100 amplifier.
At Elecraft, we know how rewarding low-power operation can be; that's why we offer a range of QRP
transceivers optimized for portable and emergency communications. But there are times when higher power is
needed to get the job done, and this is where the KXPA100 comes in. Whether you're using it with a KX3 or
other low-power rig, this versatile, 100-W amplifier can automatically and silently boost your signal to
overcome difficult band conditions.
If you also have the KXAT100 module installed, you'll have the advantages of a wide-range automatic antenna
tuner (ATU). The KXAT100 provides automatic retuning, instant recall of LC settings, and dual antenna jacks.
When used with the KX3 and its amplifier control cable, the ATU's TUNE switch, ANT switch, and menu
functions can all be controlled directly from the KX3.
In any setting--fixed, mobile, or field--we hope you find the rugged, compact KXPA100 a valuable addition to
your station.
