[Elecraft] Considering a KPA-500

[Chuck Smallhouse]

To all those comparing 500+ W versus 1500 W, and want instant on, 
with auto tracking the K3 in frequency, maybe you should consider the 
SPE/Expert 1.3K-FA.

The desk space that it takes up is not much more than the KPA500, and 
it comes with a built in auto ATU.  It will reportedly put out up 
to1500 W.  The price for the 3+dB gain in output is also increased, 
but less than 3 dB.

Now if you want to cash in your 401K , SPE/Expert also offers the 
2K-FA, which will be at least an S unit stronger than the KPA500 
!   Again also with the auto tracking of the K3 and fully auto 
ATU.  However you may need to consider increasing the power handling 
of your coaxes and antennas !
