We've just updated the news page at http://www.elecraft.com/news.htm 
with the following information.

We have received FCC certification (and also completed CE for Europe) 
and are putting on the finishing touches and performing our field test 
on the KXPA100. We're now taking orders for deliveries planned to start 
in the next 60-75 days (mid to late August).

You will find a direct link for ordering the KXPA100 below, at the 
bottom of this email. (This order form is not yet visible on our regular 
web page.)

KXPA100 features include:

100 W output on 160-6 m with 5 W input typical
13.8 VDC powered; 20 A typical current drain (11 V with lower output. 15 
V max)
7 lbs with KXAT100 installed. 10 x 5.125 x 4.25"
Compact unit ideal for both desktop and mobile use
Solid-state diode T/R switching — fast, silent T/R and QSK

Internal wide-range automatic antenna tuner (KXAT100 ATU option)
Second antenna jack provided with KXAT100 ATU option; controlled by

Seamless integration with the Elecraft KX3 transceiver
Works well with any low-power transceiver, requiring only RF and PA KEY 
inputs

Optional band-data input support the K3/10, KX3, Yaesu FT-817, Icom 
IC-703, and other rigs
Dual APP power connectors for additional friction-fit if needed 
(mobile); optional daisy-chaining of 13.8 V to power rig
Optional KXPACBL adapter connects KX3 to the KXPA100 with a single cable 
for keying, band data, and control
KXPA100's PC port allows use of remote-control and logging applications 
with the KX3 without software configuration changes
KXAT100 internal ATU option matches 10:1 SWR (5:1 typical on 160 m and 6 
m); uses Elecraft's fast matching algorithm
KXAT100 ATU settings saved per band, per band segment, and per antenna 
for instant recall
