I second K9OM's wishlist and would add that I would like to see the amp
cover 160-6 meters.  I would like to see it be capable of running 1500 watts
out continuous duty on RTTY with all components conservatively rated.  I
really like the idea of having the antenna switch built in for remote
capability -- switching to different antennas with port memory for each band
-- 6 ports would be great.  Band switching can either follow the K3/K3S or
be "RF sensed".  Of course the amp should be designed for full QSK and have
protection from high SWR, overdrive, etc.  I like the feature on my KPA500
that provides saving the drive level by band (using the K3 or K3S).  An
internal antenna tuner is not necessary.  It would also be nice to have an
Elecraft developed program to use for remote operation.  Sure hope you do
it, Eric.  Put me on the list to buy one.  73, Greg-N4CC
