[Elecraft] KPA500 question

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Well, if you want a kilowatt station the Icom IC-7600 and PW-1 offer the 
same functionality with a built-in antenna matching circuit.

Curiously, I am getting about 400 watts out of the PW-1 driving it directly 
with the KX3 at 12 watts out (no ALC).

73, Charlie k3ICH
