MobilinkdHas anyone pushed 100W HF through an SMA connector? I see they are rated at 600W below 1GHz. LMR195 is rated to 800W at 50MHz. Looking at a short run of LMR195 to get through the exterior wall into an SMA keystone outlet in the shack. Maybe 3m/10ft max run between the radio and the LMR400 feedline. Losses in adapters and cables are acceptable. Grounding is handled. Anything else I should be concerned with? #hamradio
AE0SB@Mobilinkd technically...I have a cheap little 100w HF amp I got on eBay. It has SMA connectors for the input and output. I have SMA-M/BNC-F adapters on both ends though.
I have not noticed any heat, but I also have not checked with the IR thermometer either.
