You may be the exception. In my 30 yrs or so of hamming I have seen things. One guy had the SX-77?? ?It’s an amp using 2 8877 tubes capable of producing 3000 watts. Built a crappy antenna that doesn’t seem to be resonant on that band and used
a tuner so now he thinks his antenna is 1:1. I made better contact using 1000W and a delta loop.?
I use my Elecraft KX2 as a QRP exciter to operate on 5346.5 kHz USB with my Elecraft KPA1500 set to Band 5; staying well within the permissible 100W PEP ERP limit.? The built-in ATU of my KPA1500 even provides VSWR matching for my experimental 60M antenna.
I certainly wouldn't want to pair my LA-1K with the Elecraft KX2 in like manner for reasons cited in my posts here
