in stone".
It suppose to put out 500-600w even into the 6m band...neat!!  What is nice
about it
if you are on 20m and have the amp set on 10m, it automatically goes to the
20m band
on the first "dit" or contact closure...full QSK which is not available on
many tube amps.

As far as an ATU, remote or otherwise, there is talk about one in the 500w
range but not sure on
that either.

After attending Boxborough ARRL convention and hearing Eric speak at the
Elecraft
forum, I'm sold on the KPA500. It is a neat little package with a linear ps
and the same
size as the K3.

73 y'all,
