[Elecraft] KPA1500

[Bill Breeden]

Eric, WA6HHQ, gave a presentation titled "High Performance Ham Radio: 
Inside KPA500 & Elecraft K-Line" at various hamfests in 2011, including 
Huntsville where I attended.  He explained that before Elecraft settled 
on the KPA500 they built three different sized prototype amplifiers for 
proof of concept and to establish the cost for each.  He explained that 
when that effort was complete the KPA500 was thought to be the best fit 
for the market at that time. When a member of the audience asked what 
happened to the legal limit amplifier, Eric replied that it was in his 
shack.  Eric can correct me if I have failed to remember his 
presentation accurately.
