KL400
I know this amp has been discussed before but I thought I mention what mine is doing. 10 watts in on FM with the amp on stage 6 gives me 160 watts, 20 watts in on SSB gives me 160 watts too. This was tested using an AV600 meter with a 250 watt dummy load. Now I know power is always exaggerated but I did expect a bit more on SSB. Oh well.

Re: KL400
Measure voltage on amp board after the fuses and on power supply terminals under FM 160W load.
What is the result?
Chris
p.s. on the other hand 400W from 2 pills is not possible

To be honest Chris I can't really be arsed to open it. I know I would never see 400W from it but I thought it might do a little more than it is. Damn cheap amplifiers.

Re: KL400
I'll tell you a secret. 400W it takes from wall wart
Anyway voltage drop is worth checking. You could squeeze a little more watts out of it.
