This begs the question: Why KX3s with KPA500s? That is what I use in my
mobile station and it provides about 250W due to the FCC amplifier gain
requirements. I am fine with it, as that is what I have and higher power
may affect the vehicle. I have seen someone post a modification to remove
an attenuator in the amp and recalibrate the power meter, but I would
assume that Elecraft will not be allowed to do that, as the FCC Cert holder.
