Separate remote-controlled power supply

Our new KPA1500 solid-state amplifier won't take over your entire desktop:
it's just 4.5 x 13.5 x 11.5" (HWD; 11.5 x 34 x 29 cm). The lightweight
companion power supply can be placed on the floor or in any other convenient
location.

The KPA1500 was designed with the serious operator in mind. Its no-nonsense
front panel shows all important parameters at a glance, with a high-contrast
32-character LCD and fast, bright LED bar graphs. Band switching is
instantaneous, via control inputs or RF sensing. Protection and monitoring
circuitry is extensive and foolproof, letting you focus on the job at hand -
breaking pileups and overcoming the most difficult operating conditions. And
it wouldn't be an Elecraft amp without robust PIN-diode T/R switching. Like
our KPA500, the KPA1500 offers fast QSK without a noisy relay.

The amplifier's rugged internal ATU can handle full power with load SWR up
to 3:1, while a wider matching range is allowed at lower power, including up
to 10:1 in standby mode.

When it's time to make waves, you can rely on the compact, quiet, highly
integrated Elecraft KPA1500.

Note: We will not be accepting orders for the KPA1500 until we receive final
FCC certification.*
