[Elecraft] QSK options inquiry

[Brian Alsop]

Doug,

Here's what I've gleaned on the 1010

The 1010 is a different beastie from the 1000.  It isn't just a 1000 
without 6M.
1) takes more drive for full output.
2) full output at least a few hundred watts less. (I also believe the 
transformer is not has hefty)
3) an electronicly controlled bias circuit
4) The RF deck is different, it doesn't have the extra shielding the 
1000 has.   This is both a plus (if you change tubes) and a potential 
negative.

It is a good amp for countries with an enforced 400 W power limit.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the amp key circuit or QSK.
