[Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Ignacy]

With a little work, KPA500 can be a KW amp while losing weight. This is by
using LDMOS and a commercial PS. But then KAT500 would have to be beefed up
to KAT1000. 

I have Expert 1.3k that I use with KX3 for > 1 KW. The Expert is 21 lbs
(lighter than Elecraft) with a 3:1 tuner + 4 antenna switch and automatic
110/220V switching; KPA500/KAT500 would be 35 lbs + cables. Also without
dealers markup, the no-ATU version is not that much expensive than KPA500.
But the Expert needs Elecraft refinement. 

One KW is great when working portable as DX. Everybody responds even with
impromptu antennas.

Ignacy, NO9E
