[Elecraft] SS Amp

[Art Greenberg]

I have the 1.5K-FA. I like it. I am not heavily into contesting and I'm not 
a competitive DXer.

Yes,  it's less expensive than the KPA1500. It also doesn't integrate as 
well with the K3. It doesn't control the K3's output power when switching 
between standby and operate. One needs to remember to do that, especially 
when switching into operate mode on the amp - massive overdrive isn't 
pretty and could damage the amplifier.

It doesn't remote as well as the KPA1500, either. It comes with a software 
control panel that runs on Windows. I use VNC to control the amp when 
operating remote.
