Bill and Doug, you NEED the KPA800 then!!   
http://www.n6ie.com/Elecraft.html

I am not sure if it covers 6m but looking at the toroids I suspect so. 
Not a "full" kit presumably because of the SMD components and the 
associated situation as with the K3.  I don't understand the argument 
about Elecraft not marketing amps. The Company has the expertise and the 
customer base with hundreds if not thousands of 100w amps being used. 
These are very similar to the modules that would be in the KPA 800/1600 
units. There was big interest at Dayton last year and I see these as 
fulfilling several growing markets sectors. Firstly the users like 
yourselves, secondly the guys who want a US legal limit amp and finally 
like myself and others who want 2 amps for an SO2R or multi-op station.
