[Elecraft] KPA500 - just 500 watts?

[David Pratt]

In many countries the maximum permitted power is 400W (26dBW), Lee, so 
an amplifier with 500W maximum capability is ideal.  An amplifier with 
any greater power will have a limited market.  Over this side of the 
pond we tend to stick to our licence conditions ;-)
