Band Switching 

The KXPA100 automatically measures the frequency of the RF drive and selects the proper band.  
The 

PA KEY

 input must be connected to the driving transmitter.  

 Important: The automatic band selection function is active whenever PA KEY is low (in transmit 

mode) and overrides band selection made by any other means to protect the KXPA100 from damage 
by wrong-band operation. 

Transmitting 

1.

 

Apply a watt of RF drive and note that the 

POWER (W)

 LEDs {8} illuminate to indicate the RF 

output power.  

2.

 

Increase the drive power and confirm that the 

SWR

 LEDs indicate less than 1.5 while the output 

indicated by the 

POWER (W)

 LEDs increases. Up to 5 watts of drive is required to produce the 

full 100 watts output from the KXPA100.  If more than 5 watts  is applied, enable the input 
attenuator (3 dB ATTEN) {17} by sliding its switch to the ON position. 

 Important: Never exceed 10 watts of drive to the KXPA100 at any time.
