[Elecraft] Elecraft Power supply

The one instance that would justify an Elecraft power supply
is if they would produce a 48/60 Volt 200 W replacement for
the KPA-3.  I'd go for a higher power output and matching
supply in a New York minute.

The higher voltage amplifier would significantly reduce transmit
IMD while the 200 - 250 W output would both obviate the need for
an amplifier and make it easier to drive low gain "glass bottle"
and ex-USSR ceramic triode amplifiers to the legal output.
