[Amps] FT8 power with the KPA1500

[john at kk9a.com]

>From an amplifier heating standpoint it probably makes very little
difference what power level you use with an Elecraft KPA1500. See the
Elecraft post on efficiency in the link below. I am not an amp guru but I
believe SPE Expert amps have different PA voltages which increases their
lower power efficiency.

How much power can I run on FT8/FT4 with my new KPA1500 ?
A friend with the Expert amp limits his output to 1000 watts.
