[Elecraft] KPA500 question

[dmb at lightstream.net]

Increasing power from:
100W to 600W provides 7.8dB gain (1.3 S-units)
600W to 1.5KW provides 4 dB gain (0.67 S-unit)

... so that first 600W is huge.

Considering the tight integration w/ the K3 and KAT500, and the fact that
it also plays nicely w/ other transceivers, I think the KPA500 provides
great value for the investment.
