No. The following is a detailed explanation of some of the technical aspects within the KHF-950 and KHF-990 that prevent the KAC-992 from being used in the KHF-950 system. The standard KHF-950 consists of the KCU-951 Control, KTR-953 Receiver Exciter, and KAC-952 Power Amplifier/Coupler. In the transmit mode of operation, the KTR-953 provides a low power (milliwatts) signal (at the selected frequency) to the KAC-952. This excitation signal is amplified in the KAC-952 to provide the rated output power (watts). The power amplifier is contained in the KAC-952. The KAC-952 also tunes the antenna to the desired frequency by electronically varying the antennas length. The standard KHF-990 system consists of a KFS-594 control, KTR-993 R/T, and KAC-992 probe antenna coupler. The receiver/exciter and power amplifier is contained in the KTR-993. The output of the KTR-993 is the amplified RF signal at the rated power (watts). The KAC-992 is strictly an antenna tuner and provides no amplification.
