[Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

[Dave AD6A]

Wayne/Eric,

 

Maybe too late, I know, but I've been thinking about my ideal desk setup for
HF/6m/2m and have come up with the following list of wants for the KPA1500
system:

 

I'd like the KPA1500 power supply consumption to be less than 1W when the PA
is "off".

 

I'd like the power supply to be able to be turned "on" by a single button
push on the front panel of the amplifier (on the desk). That is, the
less-than-1W power supply, via a push-button, operates an AC contactor in
the KPA1500's power supply unit (under the desk) to turn on the main power.

 

I'd like the power supply to be able to provide an extra clean 25A (30A?) at
13.8V via several sets (4?) of 30A Anderson PowerPoles on the back panel so
that I can run my whole HF station (K3s + P3) from just the one KPA1500
power supply and I'd like to be able to turn the power for this extra power
supply on/off from a push button on the front panel of the KPA1500 (on the
desk) or simply have it turn on/off with the main AC power contactor.

 

Other wants (not KPA1500): I'd like Elecraft to make a K3s/P3 matching
stereo speaker that is 17" wide x 4" tall x 10" deep, so that it sits neatly
underneath a K3s/P3 combo. I'm actually making my own right now, but I'd
prefer an Elecraft "branded" one.

 

Thanks for listening!

 

Cheers es 73,

Dave AD6A
