[Elecraft] KPA1500 not the whole answer

   Full K3s  KPA500  K line setup here.

I have  10 acres with 5 acres of it in antenna farm.  

My K3s with subreceiver, used almost exclusively in diversity receive mode, which  works so
great,  that I think if everybody  was using one, 1500 watt amps would be a waste of resources.

I knew that diversity receive was the way to go.  All of the FAA search radar systems I worked on
before I retired, use two receive channel diversity standard. When you are detecting the reflected signal
off the target at 250 miles,  diversity receive is the difference between not seen and full detection.

Not every one is fortunate as I to have room for superior antennas.

But every one has room for diversity receive with the K3s.
