[Elecraft] Linear thoughts

[N2TK, Tony]

Most everything desired has already been mentioned. Use SPE amps as a
baseline for features and learning curve.
- QSK  Preferably PIN diodes
- Remote capability like the KPA500 but with more monitoring capability so I
can put the amp in the basement alongside the KPA500.
- SO2R capability built in
- 2 rig inputs
- 4-6 antenna outputs programmable and easily switchable
- Low distortion LDMOS - single ended or two for push-pull. Max of two
MOSFETS.
- Switching supply naturally
- Optional built-in tuner that can handle at least 3:1. Amp without tuner
can handle at least 2:1 SWR without fold back on power.
- 1500W key down for digital on 160-6M
- Separate or combined amp/PS depends on size and weight.
- Amp/tuner tracks K3 receive for pre-tuning.
- some form of pre-distortion control to keep the amp clean at full output.

Interesting discussion.

Folks, if we did introduce a 1500 W solid state amp similar to our KPA500 in
operation, what features etc would be important?
