[Elecraft] K3 and HF amplifier

[rfenabled at gmail.com]

Hi,

Well thank you for the many emails getting me on the Elecraft web site without frames. Job is done now.

As I am portable, my requirement is for a solid state amp 400-800w PEP.

I can use a mix of Generator and mains power and a 13.8vdc option as well floating on a charging system.

I would like to consult the collective wisdom to obtain the following information:

Make and model
Output
Input required for maximum output although I wish to run up to 400-500w only
Technical reason to choose one model over all others.
Quality and IMD
ATU on-board is NOT required

I have read many reviews on eHam but I am not at all sure that they give an accurate view of quality etc.

Please reply OFF LIST as I do NOT want to start another OT thread and annoy those not interested in this topic.

I will have 2 x K3's and would hope the amp will be at least casual contest rated.

I have read the specs on;

Ameritron ALS-600S
THP HL-450B
THP HL-700

I have discounted;
SPE
SGC
ALS-500
All tube amps because of Generator power and no 14vdc availability etc

All comments appreciated.

Apologies to those not interested in my request.

73's
