[Elecraft] Time for the KPA-1500

[John Harper]

>Yes, it *has* to be solid state. It would be complete insanity for Elecraft

Agreed - a new tube design would be moving in the opposite direction on
the technological timeline.

I operated the ARRL DX contest with K3/AL80BQ (QSK). Bandhopping was
slowed by the need to tune the amp each time but I knew this going in and
preferred it then and now to what the KPA500 offers at its cost.

But for a 1500 watt amp w/o the need to tune - I think I could
mentally/financially justify the "need".
