[Elecraft] KPA-200

[Frank Ross W4NHJ]

I like to homebrew some of my equipment, all, if I could produce equipment 
as good as Elecraft's and some of the other well known vendors.  Building an 
amplifier is one area I believe the ham can come close to building a product 
as good as the average vendor's.  If you are talking about tube amps, I 
think the ham can do a better job then many of the vendor amps.  If you want 
a fully integrated amp for the K2 and/or K3 that will be a little harder and 
you might want to wait for Elecraft.
