[Elecraft] (Elecraft) Linear thoughts

[Thomas Donohue]

Hi to all:

I had the strong suspicion based on what I heard an Elecraft rep say at last years Dayton Hamvention that a 1500W linear was being worked on; so, I was not surprised by Eric's request. My input is as follows: (1) 1500W+ output, key down; (2) light weight (30 lbs or less); if the 30lbs is not doable in a single unit, then the power supply could be put in a separate box; (3) capability to support two transceivers, much like the current Yaesu Quadra; and (4) full computer control of amp and transceiver(s) I'll leave the detailed suggestions to those much more qualified than I to make. Finally, I will purchase one at Dayton if it is available, sight unseen, based on the Elecraft history of producing high quality products, and most importantly, updating and supporting them throughout their life cycle. Thanks Elecraft for all that you do.

Best 73,
Tom/W1QU
