'd guess you could run the KWS-1 up to maybe 200 watts or so on AM without overloading the tubes however it can run 1 kilowatt on single sideband.

[@rbratcherjr]

Whats the maximum power you can run the KWS-1 on AM without hurting the transmitter? 200w? Maybe 250w if your lucky? Or can it handle more power in AM mode than that?

[@ndchevy4fun]

I run about 125 to 150 watts output carrier and shows 500 watts PEP

[@rbratcherjr]

Oh yes the KWS-1/ 75A-4 combo is a real blast!!!!

1KW input to the final If I remember right 2000 Volts plate devided by .500 mills = 1000KW input was looking here today and see I hadn't reply to you question? must have missed the email. The KWS-1 was quit the power house in its day. could talk to anyone the 75A4 could hear! Fun rig ti operate and warm in the winter.
