[Elecraft] Found this on Facebook this morning... KPA800??

[N2TK, Tony]

When I saw the KPA1500 at Dayton I drooled. I can still picture having the
amp remoted in the basement where my present Acom2000A sits on a shelf
hanging from the ceiling and tied into my coax and control cable, lightning
protection and grounding panel. Then just have a RCU in the shack like the
Acom or the software on the screen to control the amp. I would really like a
1.5KW, instant-on, remote control, 160-6M amp.

I have no negative issues with the 2000A. It is a wonderful amp and has
given me years of great service. But I would like to also have an amp on 6M.
And I still haven't heard another Zone 19 on Topband since the one time I
heard one at my sunrise. I called and called at 100W while waiting for the
amp to cycle on. By the time the 3 minutes passed the UA0 faded into the
noise level. An instant-on amp might have given me success at making the
QSO.

It was pretty sweet in person, but pics are still out there. See

I was talking to Wayne at Dayton this past April, and asked about a higher
power amp. I doubt we'll ever see one, but at least he didn't forclose the
idea. It would be nice to have a 1500 watt RF deck in a K3-sized case, and a
PS in a second case.
