[Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Level

[Bob McGraw]

Not really, 6 dB of attenuation rated at 100 watts.  The challenge is 
switching it out on receive.

But the real challenge is to buy a transceiver that doesn't overshoot at 
reduced power.  Neither my K3S, my Tentec Eagle, nor my Omni VII have 
the issue.    Other companies have or need to update their operating 
system such that reduced power does not overshoot.

Kenwood, ICOM, and Yaesu.......are you listening?
