Yes I know about the almost finished state before FCC regulations  
changed and RoHS was introduced. And if this had not happened, they  
may well have seen the light of day. To this we can agree.

However based on the last two years of K3 craziness, the panadapter  
development work and so on, as well as my reading between the lines  
(Aptosology is a bit like Kremlinology back in the 70s) of public and  
private mails, I get the gut feeling that the KPA800 & KPA1500 amps in  
their *current* state won't come to market. I would not be surprised  
if Elecraft in the medium to distant future has reworked/redesigned  
QRO amplifiers in their product range.

I suppose your guess is as good or as bad as mine.
