[Elecraft] Internal or External amp for K2..what are my options

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

You will have to wait for the KX3 external amplifier.  The plan is for 
it to work with other QRP transceivers too.

You can also use any linear amplifier.  For instance, the KPA500 will 
provide greater than 100 watts output from a QRP K2.

I want to get an amp, and getting the internal amp seems like the most sensible way to go, but I'm also thinking that an external amp I could use for other radios in the future might be the better solution. Are there off the shelf 100w amps that might fit the bill? I see Ten Tec's new amp is $700+....not going to happen at that price.
