Just buy their new kpa ?COMBINER? and add a second KPA500 and you got 
your KPA1000! Merry Christmas I say...

Does this "really" exist from Elecraft?  Sound's like wishful 
thinking.  Of course one make both input divider and output combiner.  ~KL7UW

Another consideration for a KPA1000, would be the almost certain need
for 220V power.

Why is this a problem?  Just run down to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy 
some No.8-3 cable and run your own 220v line.  They have the needed 
twist-lock 25A or 30A receptacles, plugs, and utility boxes.  I tied 
my 35-foot 240vac extension from the main breaker box at the main 
entrance buss and used a 60A service box for installing 20A-230v 
breaker and two 20A-115v breakers to have some stiff power for other 
PS in the shack.

If you are worried about regulations find a local electrician that 
will sign-off on your work - that is what I did.
