[Elecraft] KPA-1500 wish list

[Andy Durbin]

"Yes, ALC that really worked well with an amplifier would make the above 
unnecessary, but I don't think anyone has figured out how to do that. 
Until someone does, a slow feedback loop adjusting drive power would 
solve the problem above, not introduce any distortion, and save us 
operators the bother of riding the power control."

The significant problem with implementing closed loop power control is that it would only work (if it could work at all) with an Elecraft transceiver connected by the AUX cable.  The KPA1500 is marketed as being compatible with non-Elecraft transceivers.

Gain control contained within the KPA1500 would be an advantage to all KPA1500 owners, not just those with a fully integrated Elecraft transceiver.
