[Elecraft] KPA-800 any news at Dayton?

[dj7mgq at muenchen-mail.de]

To tell you the truth I am not surprised, especially because Eric did  
say ahead of Dayton that the amps were not coming any time soon. That  
is not to say that I am not disappointed, because I have been waiting.  
There are other good amps on the market, but the integration with the  
K2/K3 sounded like it was going to be very advanced and the built in  
"tuner" in combination with solid state would have been very nice  
indeed. I'll now have to raid my "amplifier upgrade piggy bank" for  
some other manufacturer.

I do understand why Elecraft has (probably) decided to end the QRO  
amplifier project. It would have been difficult breaking into a small  
market with an expensive high end product and not loose money. And  
Elecraft is a fairly small company with relatively large number of  
products, so overreaching could also harm the stuff they already have,  
e.g. quality control.
