[Elecraft] Time for the KPA-1500

Don't get me wrong.  I love the KPA-500 for its nearly instant on  and
instant band change.  But in an event such as this past weekend ARRL CW
(ditto CQWW and other major contests), 500 watts may put you in the high
power category but it definitely does not put you in the same league as the
guys running the legal limit.

 

With the advances in solid state devices, I truly hope the folks at Elecraft
have a KPA-1500 on the drawing board or at least a KPA-1000 with a tuner
(just like the Yaesu Quadra amp).  

 

I'm willing to bet you will sell a bunch of them, too!
