[Elecraft] Re: New Amplifiers ...

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

In previous comments here on the reflector, Wayne said that the new amps
will develop several hundred watts output when driven by a K2 at 10 watts or
so and:

"...will accept band change data from most popular transceivers, as well as
computers, or via complete manual controls on the front panel. It also has a
large, easy-to-read, 20-character alphanumeric LED display that shows what
rig you're using (A or B), the antenna (complete with names, e.g. "YAGI"),
PA temperature, and PA current drain. There's a full menu system, etc., etc.
Details pending!"

How about a version for all of us not in the USA that are not encumbered by 
FCC regulations?

Take the K2's 10 watt PEP or 15 Watt CW output and generate somewhere in the

neighborhood of 400 watts PEP or CW. Perhaps a KPA400 would solve the FCC 
problem. And of course we would need a matching KAT400, BL4,...
