>From Space Cadet To the Mother Ship (Elecraft): I sure enjoy my K1, s/n #01453, and use it daily. However, there are times when I'm chasing DX that I'd like to be able to switch in a 10 dB boost to my output. Could we explore the feasibility of offering a kit amplifier for the K1 (say a KPA-1)?
I'd suggest that most owners of the K1 would immediately purchase it (1500+ units?). It could also make the K1 more attractive to the part-time QRPers, like me. The only disadvantage that immediately comes to mind is that the KAT-1 antenna tuner couldn't be used with it and would have to be removed. However, perhaps the KPA-1 could be plugged in its place? Are we looking at 7-8 amps current draw, instead of 1 amp? If you're a subscriber to this list and would like to see a KPA-1 amplifier kit, please join me in letting Elecraft know.
