> This is pre-release information. We are not yet offering the KPA100 for sale and we can not take orders until the final FCC certification is received. Basically we perform the amp testing at a local test lab and in our lab and submit the data to the FCC. (Harmonic cleanliness, Amplifier max gain <15 dB, Blocking of the CB band etc.) This is usually a fairly quick process based on our experience getting the FCC certification for the KPA500.
