According to their web site at: http://www.rmitaly.com/Catalogo.asp
Frequency 26-30 MHz
Input energy/power 650 VA
Input AM power 1-10 W
Output AM power 250 W Max
Input power SSB 2-20 W
Output power SSB 500 W PEP Max
Mode AM-FM-SSB-CW
Copper has "thee" best prices on the KL Amps.

Ok, my fault. I should have specified which amp I was inquiring about.
I have read the specs on the KLV 400 Base amp and connot believe this amp will produce 500w.
Has any of the techs tested this amp and found the claimed outputt to be true or false?
Just trying to get some professional info before I purchase an amp. |

Bigbob, the KLV 550 base was my first choice. My second choice was the KLV 1000. But, my coax won't handle 1kw. (RG8x)So, I'm lookin for something in the 500w range.I want some info. And need it pretty fast. Would like to make a decission by Monday so I can get my order in and have the amp before next Sundays NET. Any and all information is welcome. Send me an email. |

Rg8x should handle 3kw,others have used it with the klv1000 just make sure your swr is very low,and hold your keydowns to 30 seconds if your worried,you can say alot in 30 seconds,in the subscriber section there is a write up of the klv550,it was tested with 2 diff radios,and watt readings were given on all 6 levels. |

I remember those articles. They all did a good job. I'm kinda stuck between the klv 1000 and the klv 550. Hmmmmmmmm
Decissions, decissions.... |

The klv1000 drive with 4 watts 600 am 1200 ssb,now 307 told me if you drive the 1000p with a dual final radio(2312c finals) you should see about the same output as the klv550 without having to turn down your radio(300 am 600 ssb)and if you upgrade to a 100 watt radio you got an automatic upgrade on the amp double the output or a 3db increase,so if you get the 1000p you can't lose,it'd be like getting a bullet proof 550,if driven by your current radio,so you have a kick butt radio and amp! |
