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

[Ariel Jacala]

HFPacker version 4 gets you 35 watts out - this is a kit and will work with any QRP rig - cost is 259 USD

KPA100 is internal to the K2/100 (essentially a new top) - check the Elecraft price list - will only work with a K2 - this is what I have.

Juma PA100 is a very nice 100 watt linear for about 460 Euros and will work with any rig

Or you can wait for the KXPA100 which will work with any QRP rig

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.
