[Elecraft] Alternative AMP to KX3 since Elecraft has temporarily stopped making AMPS

[Eric Swartz]

Folks,

As noted in my earlier email on this thread, we are currently shipping
-all- of our amplifiers, including the KXPA100, KPA500 and KPA1500.

We are shipping a batch of KXPA100 orders tomorrow and will be shipping the
original poster to this thread his KXPA100 next week. :-)

73,
Eric
