[Elecraft] Was there a 1500w amp from Elecraft in our past?

[Brendon Whateley]

I believe they built a couple of prototypes to evaluate the feasibility of
making such a product. In the end, it was decided that it would not be an
economically viable addition to the product lineup and was shelved.

No conspiracy. Nothing sinister. But sadly for those who might want to buy
such a beast, nothing in sight along those lines.
