I find myself having to be very careful in power selection from the IC-705 if I have the Hardrock online so I normally use the KPA-500 alone if I need more power from the Icom. My only use of the Hardrock lately is in outdoor POTA ops.<br /><br />For those using Elecraft gear, here is a link to the software Mats refers to:<br />https://va2fsq.com/win4k3suite-for-the-kx3/John AE5Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884676867006975179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142737426092510126.post-83824797082653862732021-03-08T10:36:08.720-06:002021-03-08T10:36:08.720-06:00Hi John,

Then by a coincidence in 2015 I stumbled over an newly built KPA-500 (I were looking for a SPE amplifier to be true). They are all in my daisy chain with full QSK as well. I am a user of Tom's (VA2FSQ) software Win4K3 and the software handle all of the equipment (incl. KAT500) in the chain.

I don’t have a 705, but bought a used KX3 last year while we all wait for the K4 to ship. I have an RM Italy 100 watt (maybe more like 85 watt) solid state amp, but want to aim for KW power output on HF+6.
