[Elecraft] 100 Watts or 500 Watts

[Rick Dettinger]

But going directly from the K3/10 to the KPA500 might be a good way  
for those unhappy with the SSB transmit quality of the KPA3 to get a  
very clean signal since the KPA500 uses 70 volt devices for the final  
amplifiers.  Plus a 3 db. gain over the KPA3.  At a cost, of course.
