[Elecraft] Amp choices for QRP K3?

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Why would you want to do that?

Surely the KPA3, with all it's integrated features, an additional Ant.  
socket and Elecraft reliability and support far outweigh any other  
option?
Plus of course it's all in the same box, with the same supply and not  
another piece of equipment to install, carry etc.

I'm not an Elecraft bigot, but in this case, I'm prepared to be called  
one.
