Full break-in, as clean as a good tube amp, legal limit through 6M with 
50% duty cycle (to support keydown modes like JT65, JT9). The general 
operational characteristics of a KPA500. A matching or integral antenna 
tuner. Light weight for airline travel -- IF the SMPS that would be 
required to do this was so quiet that it could not be heard on an 
antenna 20-30 ft away in a quiet location. :)
