[Elecraft] The amp I would like to see Elecraft build.

Heaven help us, NO!  The 12V amplifiers are marginally clean enough
at 100W.  A 500W 12V amplifier is likely to have IMD be much poorer
than -30 dB PEP.  What we really need is a 48V final for the K3/K3S
(maybe at 200W) so we can see IMD in the -45 dB to -50 dB PEP range
where it really should be.

It's time to make a stand for cleaner signals ... not signals in the
same class as the "no name" Italian and Chinese amplifiers.

73,
