If I could afford one, I would get it.  I am building a kit that will 
provide 300w but NOT with all the extra features that come with the 
KPA500.  I will have to run a 28vdc PS for the 300w linear so not 
portable like the KPA500.  I bought a used Mirage A-1015G for 6m 
(125w driven by K3/10).  Fortunately, I have acquired a Harris TV 
amplifier to produce up to 1100w on 6m (the K3/10 will drive it to 
800w).  With luck I will have 800w running for the July CQ VHF 
Contest with newly erected 6-element yagi.
