    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    My KL 300P is Blue if that makes a difference.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I notice my McKinley doesn't like the cold either just like the Galaxies. It has to warm up to get on Frequency.

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    And what your saying is the KL 200P might be a little better amp for talking 10 meter radio. I think I heard that somewhere else along the line in my exploration.

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    Thank you, so what I get out of this is my first decision to buy the kl 200P because it was a better build wasn't totally wrong,but I later bought a 2nd amp and it was a KL 203P so I have both and I'll probably will never know the difference because I'm not technical enough ! LOL So let me...

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Your right the display should have been ironed out and the menu I was never crazy about. But for a bare bones radio if that's all you want it's not a bad radio. Not everyone wants the extra channels.

    Why is the KL 200 P slightly higher in price than the KL.203 P at Cooper Electronics?

    This subject came out in another thread and I often wondered what makes them different and why do more people buy the 203 P ? Back in the beginning when I went to buy my first amp with my uneducated thinking I chose the 200 P because I thought it must be a little better built to raise the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Glad to see someone else bought a KL 200 because the KL 203 seems to get all the mention. My 980 and KL 200 P was the first combo that got me talking some skip because they claimed the KL could handle the 980 because it put out less than 4 watts. That was many radios ago. ! LOL

    I'm surprised you gave that 980 a chance. I figured you for a different radio. Mine still works OK but I was never thrilled with visibility in the mobile enviroment.

    Schottkey diode/transistor opinions

    I've been using a West Mountain Radio Processor that I'm happy with for noise reduction but they aren't cheap. But then again nothing about this hobby is Cheap ! LOL

    Schottkey diode/transistor opinions

    Sorry Hawkeye no I can't recommend but I was considering Shottky one time to improve my receive on my DX2547 and picked up the Germanium info in another forum but never got around to modifying the radio. You probably should ask Nomadradio or others into Modding and repair. Best of luck to you...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I have to laugh the solar site said 10-12 meter was suppose to be poor today but it is almost 9:00 PM & I can hear my Lincoln II+ upstairs barking out some good sounding DX which is unusual for this time of night. I guess I'll just keep Rolling with the Flow !

    Schottkey diode/transistor opinions

    I heard somewhere that germanium diodes were better than Schottkey but I'm no expert by any means.

    That's the message I found in my spambox of my email this morning so I went to his web site to verify it. He has helped me a couple of times with radio problems and he is the one who Identified the bad part in my Lincoln II+ SSB circuit and would have replaced it if he had it but since he didn't...
