[Elecraft] KPA-500 SN 101 On the Air

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

I had 4 mounted on the board and then 6 more in the hardware.  I do see 
on A8 the notation about them possibly being mounted on the board.  I 
will freely admit that I did a cursor glance at the parts list and dove in!

I love the automatic band detection!  Nice!  The amp is quiet and just 
loafs along.  I am very happy with the amp.  It will be a pleasure 
taking it to J6 for the WW DX test in November.
