[Elecraft] 2 meter amp for K3 or KX3

Just a comment that I have built W6PQL amps (300w 1296 amp) (better 
quality than the commercial amps like Mirage).

I had forgotten that Jim (Klitzing) had the 80w 2m linear article in 
QST (here is link to his 
webpage):.http://www.w6pql.com/2_meter_80w_all_mode_amplifier.htm

Note: he offers the pcb with some components pre-installed but it 
should still be considered a kit (type you solder things together), 
so is not a ready to use unit.  BTW the amplifier module drives with 
50mw so even the KX3-2m is able to drive one.  Running 1w drive 
requires a 13-dB input attenuator which can be built-in with the amp.

I built some kits for others and with the interest shown here for a 
2m amp, would an assembled 2m amp be of interest?
I can research the costs to build one these if there is.  I can guess 
the cost will be near the same for a 100w Mirage.
