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

[srife at swbell.net]

	That is exactly what they designed Greg. It didn't have scope
capability, and I am not sure about the dummy load.

As far as I know, no one makes a full 1500 watt output, continuous-duty, no
time limit, "brick on the key" amplifier that covers 160-6 meters with full
QSK and "instant on".  It would be nice to have a built in precision
wattmeter, too.

I'm sure some would also like an auto-tuner, antenna switch w/ memories,
dummy load, monitor scope...etc.  It could be "optioned" just like the K3 so
cost could be adjusted to the budget of the buyer...

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?
