[Elecraft] What became of the Elecraft's KPA1500 and KPA 800

[westalto at comcast.net]

Frankly, It seems to me that good QRO amps are a glut on the market. (see THP, etc.) 

To be competitive in that market, any Elecraft offering would have to be highly 

innovative and I just don't see much more that can be done. 



IMHO

        YES!  That is exactly the question I would like to ask. I very much 
looked forward to the release a couple of years ago, and now you can't even 
get a comment from Elecraft about the situation. 

        IMO, QRO is much more important than all these trivial little toys 
they are building now. I have a much more pressing need for a KPA-XXXX than 
I do a panadapter (with limited features) and a wattmeter. I have a very 
nice panadapter that has rig control from the computer, and it didn't cost 
700 bucks, and I can control it with the MOUSE. 

        Wayne/Eric, how about some comments on this subject. At least tell 
us what the future holds for the KPAs. I'm holding off buying a new amp till 
the KPAs are released.

What happened to the Elecraft Amps?  Did they get beyond 'proto: gee I want 
one' stage?
