[Elecraft] Elecraft Amps

[Gary Smith]

I have the Ameritron AL-1500 and it's a powerhouse. 
Used to have an Alpha 77SX and that was double this 
amp. I like to use power in contests but playing by 
the rules is a mandate so over the max legal power 
is of no value. I use a factory aligned LP-100A to 
keep me legit. This is not A QSK amp and the 
Ameritron QSK is PIN diode which will not handle a 
moderate SWR mismatch at higher power.

I would love a SS amp by Elecraft for the QSK would 
be stellar and the amplifier would be quieter than 
this AL-1500. I would want it capable of 1500W and 
gravy would be to have it capable of running this 
power in a RTTY contest. Auto tune is not necessary 
if the QSK can operate under 3:1 SWR at full output. 

I would want it offered as a kit and would expect 
$2,400 as such, add 400 for AT.
