[Elecraft] Time for the KPA-1500

I think the real question to Elecraft is:  Are you ever going to bring this
amplifier to market?  Their hands are full now but the future is the
question.

I too want a KPA-1500, and it does NOT have to be solid state, nor does it
need to have a tuner, just interface and change bands like the KPA-500
does.....That would get my checkbook out in a hurry.......
