Recently I had the opportunity to borrow a KPA500, unfortunately it must be delivered to his owner again J
Wich affordable Mosfet amplifier do you prefer for using remote with you Flex6*00?

B26-PA 2K+ from RF-Kit.de
Yes, this is the best one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but It's a kit you need to build yourself? Right?

Yes, it is a bit of a kit. You have to install your own RPI and make up some RF cables. It is pretty straight forward.
You do then need to do all the calibration, so you will need a voltmeter and a calibrated wattmeter that can go to 2kw.

SPE Expert 1.3K w. Auto Tuner.
Having had my 1K for more than a year with my 6700. Works great, but software for remote not so good. Plan to upgrade to 1.3 soon.

Johan, why you ask questions when you know the answer? You was member of the B26-PA group at Groups.io and you have seen the internet of RF-Kit.de
Yes it is a kit but not like a kit from Heathkit from the old days :-)
To finish the kit you need 6 - 8 hours and over 150 Ham's in USA have finished his kit well. Worldwide many more.
Many power amps came from Europe: ACOM , OM-Power, Expert, Yuma, PGXL from Flex and also B26-PA

Yes I thought I did know, but it has been proposed and suggested here as an alternative to factory built amplifiers. I wasn't sure if something had changed lately. As well as I'm not sure everyone reading here are aware of it.
To me It's a World of difference comparing factory built, with service offered, warranties, at least resonably known second hand value. To homebrew amps without any of the later.
Bit of comparing apples with oranges. But that's my opinion. Each to his own.

Running the SPE 2k-FA fully remote love it!
Yes. I'm also running the 2K-FA remotely and it's very nice. Using a remote Virtual Serial Port Emulator over VPN connection for remotely accessing the SPE 2K-FA USB COM port. I can do everything with it remotely that I can sitting in front of it (except play with the connectors on the back :)

If you want to make DX contacts during challenging propagation conditions you do. There is no minimum or maximum power level for FT8, unlike some other low power digital modes.

PD calls are limited to 25w
Thats
right, but PI not
Everybody knows best what's to do:-) No problem for me how much power a ham use. HB3er's often use amps on remote, it's more or less accepted - more or less, but not with the own call.
Be careful when asking such a question with your call. When I was HB3YAT some years ago, I did that in another forum too. A few days later a official visited me and asked tons of questions - without trouble for me, they said, that all was o.k.
Wish you 73 from sunny Switzerland

The PGXL is another option, but to my knowledge does not have the built-in tuner.
