[Elecraft] KX3 (or, K3) 2-meter solid-state amplifier

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

No you are not asking too much, but consider the market of used ones around since the 1970's.........

Come on guys, its a BRICK.  Once powered up and mode switch selected it sits in the closet, or under the car seat.  Lots of competition and low ball prices including the used ones.  Now if it had bells and whistles, maybe.  Mine is a 5 in 140 out used one for <$100 sits behind the rear sit with the shortest run of coax to the antenna.  No I don't use it portable.  So, no thanks for me.

I am curious — how much interest is there in a 2-meter, solid-state, amplifier from Elecraft that could be used with either the KX3 or the K3.

I own a KX3 with the 2-meter option and I have considered buying a 2-meter amplifier in the 35 to 90 watt power range (or, something close to that).  But, I would rather have an Elecraft product.  Do others feel the same way or am I wanting too much?
