[Elecraft] KPA 800 ?

[william parker]

Hello,

    Ive been reading alot of emails about the upcoming KPA 800. As a builder of the K2 and the KPA 100, which I enjoy using, I wanted to complete my station with the KPA 800. I am hearing though, of a retail of 2500 to 3000 dollars. 
    This is way to steep for me, if this is true. I read that the KPA 800 will have a built in auto tuner, but, Im just a blue collar ham.
    Anyone have anymor info ?

Thanks,
Bill, KA3IXF
