[Amps] Elecraft KPA500 and KPA1500 owers New Display Units

[Keith Ennis]

These DDUs allow you to install the amps away from the main operating position and still allow the 
viewing of the amps operating status.
 
The Digital Display Unit* for the Elecraft KPA500 allows you to monitor these crucial readings all at the same time.
 
A great way to help protect your investment
 
1. Power amplifier's heat sink temperature
2. Power amplifier's high voltage supply voltage
3. Power amplifier's current
4. Power amplifier's output power
5. SWR that the KPA500 sees at its output
PLUS:
Shows band KPA500 is operating on
Also if KPA500 is in standby or operate mode
 
Display Unit can be located at a more visible location
up to the RS232 limit from KPA500 unit

All displayed info obtained directly from the KPA500
4" x 4" x 2"
  
The DDU will poll the KPA500 and display PA voltage and PA temperature during receive and transmit cycles. It will add watts, SWR and current during transmit. There is a built in hold time to keep the watts and SWR displayed for a short amount of time after unkeying.
  
The Display unit for the KPA1500:
 
Displays the same display as is on the KPA1500 Amplifier 
Change the display on the KPA1500 and the DDU changes
