[Elecraft] Time for the KPA-1500

[Phil Hystad]

I think I have a "wait-and-see" attitude on the legal limit KPA1500 solid-state.  I am still getting used to the KPA500 and especially since I never used an amplifier for CW prior to getting the KPA500 and I have used it sparingly since then.  Sure, an amplifier is nice and maybe even required for 160/80 meter punch but I can live without that I think.

I am anxiously awaiting the KAT500 though.  I can see now that if a KPA1500 is released then the KAT1500 needs to be close in following.  Periodic obsolescence I say -- sort of like maintaining my Beetles Album collection.  I think I am on my 4th media technology (which is digital files on my computer or in iCloud).  Let's see, the White Album as LP, then Cassette, then CD, now memory and nebulous storage in the cloud.
