< K3BHX: "And all you guys can say is you don't like the color of the buttons. Unbelievable!">
I can't speak for everyone Fred, but if this comment was a response to MY post, you certainly missed my point. I was not critical of the KPA500. I don't even have mine yet. But, the listed features alone blow me away and I look forward to getting mine. I hope you're not including me in your "all you guys can say...." post because that just isn't true in my case. I simply posted my personal reason for wanting the buttons on the KPA500 to match the other gear within my "K-Line". I love all things Elecraft and shout praises for the E-Team from the highest rooftop. I'm sure I'll feel the same when I get my KPA500. That said, the button color is a personal preference involving *esthetics*, not performance. It's not a big deal. And, it's an issue that someone else already found a quick and inexpensive fix for, should one want to change them. OK, I'll button this up now. ;o) Terry, W0FM -----Original Message----- From: Fredric Serota [mailto:fser...@msn.com] Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 4:03 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Unbelievable! I don't usually say much on these lists. But I have just finished building my KPA500, and I have to say that in my almost 50 years of hamming, this is the most incredible piece of equipment I have ever had. Now, I am not related to Elecraft in any way. They don't even know who I am. But I am so impressed with the quality of components and the engineering and thought that went in to this little package that I may sell my other amp (name starts with the first letter of the Greek alphabet) and buy another. My other amp is so noisy, the fan runs so loud and the "QSK" relays clickity-clack" when sending CW. The KPA500 is as silent as can be, generates over 600 watts without any noise at all. The only time I can hear the fan is when I shut down the amplifier, it turns on to bleed the high voltage to make it safe if you want to poke inside. No other piece of equipment I have ever had does that. It follows the K3 without blinking. And the software gives you all the measurements, incl uding temperature, that you would ever want to know. And the satisfaction of breaking a pile up with half the power I usually run, puts the fun back in operating. And all you guys can say is you don't like the color of the buttons. Unbelievable!
