[Elecraft] KPA 500 vs New 1500 watt amp

[Wayne Burdick]

Our philosophy at Elecraft is to cover both ends of the spectrum. Figuratively speaking.

When the bands are open, the birds are singing, and the sun is shining, you’ll find us outdoors using a hand-held KX2 at 10 watts with a whip. But late at night, when propagation is in the tank and that rare DX station peeks over the horizon for a once-in-a-lifetime fleeting moment, seconds count and size really does matter. At these times, we flip the big switch.
