[Elecraft] K2 Almost Ready

[richard.arland at verizon.net]

Hi Leigh:

I have built one of these and use it with my FT-817. However, I wanted something a bit more powerful than the 38 W I get out of that particular linear that I could put into a matching K2 case. 

Now, before all the flames start licking up around my privates, let me assure you that I have no real intention of using this amp on a regular basis. However, having said that, I have always wanted to undertake a medium power HF linear project (around the 200 W range) based upon transistor designs found in the Motorola RF book. 

Communications Concepts sells several different board designs based upon the MFR-454/455 devices that will go up past 300W. I just think that it would be nice to have something around the 150/180 W range sitting next to the K2 in a matching enclosure. (That way I could "tickle" the 4CX10000 that sits beside the operating bench!)
