[Elecraft] My photos of the KPA1500 from Visalia, and a Y-BOX update

[Wayne Burdick]

The new amp is far smaller and lighter, has new LDMOS output devices, expanded display capability, additional rig/control interfaces including Ethernet, a separate power supply, much faster MCU with a lot more memory, more versatile fan control, redesigned cabinet that's RF-tight at all edges, and more monitoring/safety features. 

It also benefits from our many years of experience building K-line amps and ATUs.
