[Elecraft] Amp specs

[John Harper]

In looking at several HF amps, I notice that PEP and CW are usually of different levels for a given amp.

For example, THP's HL-1.2 is rated at 750w PEP, 600w CW. Granted, a receiving station would not notice any difference in a 0.9 dB increase of power on any mode but I'm wondering how the KPA500 compares - is the 500w rating PEP or CW?
